Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement:
"As alleged, Kristin Davis sold dangerous and highly-addictive
prescription pills to a known drug dealer on repeated occasions in exchange for
cash."
The FBI says that on three occasions from January to March,
Davis sold hundreds of prescription pills containing amphetamine, alprazolam,
zolpidem, and carisoprodol to a drug dealer.
That dealer happened to be a cooperating witness with the FBI and was
wearing a wire.
Agents say that during the sales, Davis was recorded saying
that the pills she was selling were "Ambien," "Soma," and
"Xanax."
On a fourth occasion in April, the FBI claims Davis arranged
for another individual to sell approximately 180 oxycodone pills to the drug
dealer.
Davis is the ex-madam who claims to have supplied
then-governor Eliot Spitzer with prostitutes.
Spitzer resigned in disgrace after the scandal became public.
Davis spent three months behind bars for running an escort
service.
