She is\u00a0also running against Eliot Spitzer as a candidate for New York City comptroller.<\/p>\n<p>Davis has been charged with selling prescription pills containing controlled substances, including oxycodone, for cash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs alleged, Kristin Davis sold dangerous and highly addictive prescription pills to a known drug dealer on repeated occasions in exchange for cash. Prescription drug abuse is the fastest-growing drug problem in this country, resulting in more overdose deaths than heroin and cocaine combined, and this office has a zero-tolerance policy toward anyone who helps to spread this plague at any level.\u201d\u00a0Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI said that Davis sold hundreds of prescription pills containing amphetamine, alprazolam, zolpidem, and carisoprodol to a person she knew from prior purchases and sales to be a drug dealer. The person however, was a cooperating witness with the FBI and equipped with a recording device. She has been\u00a0charged with four counts of distributing and possessing with intent to distribute a controlled substance. Each count carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Akesson<br \/>\nEditor for\u00a0<a title=\"hedge funds\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/\">HedgeCo.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:alex@hedgeco.net\">alex@hedgeco.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"hedge fund\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/\">HedgeCo.Net<\/a>\u00a0is a premier\u00a0<a title=\"hedge fund database\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\/\">hedge fund database<\/a>\u00a0and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
