A Camden County pharmacist has been indicted on federal charges alleging he unlawfully distributed oxycodone, while his wife faces separate charges for allegedly making false statements during the U.S. naturalization process, U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer announced.
According to federal authorities, Charles Suh, 63, worked as a pharmacist at a pharmacy in Voorhees. Prosecutors allege that on 15 occasions between June and November 2021, Suh illegally dispensed oxycodone based on prescriptions that he knew, or should have known, were forged.
In a separate case, So Yong Suh, 62, the wife of Charles Suh, was charged by criminal complaint with making false statements on her application for U.S. citizenship.
Federal officials allege that So Yong Suh submitted an Application for Naturalization, known as an N-400, and certified under penalty of perjury that the information provided was truthful and complete.
Investigators contend that she falsely stated she had never been arrested or convicted of a crime despite having been arrested at least four times.
Authorities further allege that she falsely claimed she had never provided false or misleading information to the United States government.
Prosecutors say she failed to disclose a civil lawsuit settlement during bankruptcy proceedings, resulting in the dismissal of that bankruptcy case.
