Florence, S.C. (WPDE) – Mina George Sadek Georgy, a pharmacist at McLeod Health in Florence, was arrested this week outside the hospital after being linked to several criminal charges. The Florence Police Department responded to a notification from a FLOCK camera, alerting them to a vehicle registered to a wanted suspect out of Richland County. The vehicle, a black 2016 BMW, was located near McLeod Hospital and pulled over in the parking lot.
Upon stopping the vehicle, police identified the driver as Georgy, who was confirmed to have active warrants for grand larceny and theft from a motor vehicle from Richland County. A search of Georgy’s person led to the discovery of numerous loose pills, prompting the call of narcotics agents to the scene. A further search of the vehicle revealed a stolen handgun that had been taken during a theft from a motor vehicle in Richland County.
Inside the vehicle, authorities found a significant quantity of prescription pills, including Tramadol, Clonazepam, Aripiprazole, and Buspirone Hydrochloride – some of which were in bottles with Georgy’s name. Also recovered were THC gummies and a Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro 9mm handgun with 12 live rounds, which was confirmed as stolen from a prior vehicle break-in in Richland County.
Hospital officials confirmed that McLeod Health had contacted DHEC and was conducting an internal investigation regarding the origin of the pills found in Georgy’s possession. Georgy is currently on administrative leave pending the investigation. The hospital has cooperated fully with law enforcement throughout the process.
Georgy’s arrest highlights a troubling case of grand larceny, drug theft, and the possession of stolen property. The investigation is ongoing.
