Audrey Strauss, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced today that Richard Schirripa pled guilty to making materially false statements to officers of the Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA"). On two occasions in 2020, Schirripa falsely represented that, as part of the recent closure of his pharmacy in Manhattan, he had sold, transferred, or destroyed all controlled substances. In fact, he remained in possession of thousands of controlled substance pills/patches in his home, including fentanyl and oxycodone, which had been prescribed to others. Schirripa pled guilty today before U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels, to whom his case is assigned.
