Nine months after The Hour alerted the public that a CVS pharmacist had allegedly used a customer's personal information to post a kinky sex ad on Craigslist about her, police have applied for a warrant for his arrest.
Jonathan Medina -- formerly a pharmacist at the CVS branch on the corner of Westport Avenue and Willard Road -- will be charged with two counts of second-degree harassment and two counts of computer crimes. Police said they believe Medina has left the state of Connecticut.
"Norwalk police prevailed," said the victim, whose name is being withheld by The Hour. "They did everything they could to find him."
Sooooo.....nine months after a crime is committed, the police "prevail" by applying for a warrant for the arrest of someone they think has left the state. I wonder if the standards for police work are a little lower in Connecticut, or if the victim is just incredibly easy to please. Maybe she confused the words "failed" and "prevailed." Just goes to show why everyone should own a good dictionary.
According to the victim, she went to CVS on Aug. 11 at approximately 9:15 p.m. to pick up several prescriptions. When she arrived, Medina allegedly told her there were no refills remaining on two of the medications she takes daily.
The victim said she asked Medina why he hadn't called her doctor to have the prescriptions refilled as many pharmacists will do or advised her earlier in the day when she called that there was a problem.
Medina became rude and then grudgingly agreed to her request for a day's supply of medication until her doctor could be contacted, according to the victim.
But the victim said she was so taken aback by her treatment, she asked for the name and number of Medina's supervisor. She said the pharmacist scrawled the information on a piece of paper and shoved it across the counter at her. That's when she decided to leave.
At 6:30 a.m. the next morning, the victim said she was awakened by a disturbing phone call from an unknown man asking her about the kinky, sexual promises she made in her ad.
Confused, the victim, who is married, at first thought it was a prank until the caller provided personal details that convinced her there was an ad posted on Craigslist.
The victim discovered the headlines for the ad read "Kinky (victim's name) looking for a good time" and "Busty (victim's name) looking for a good time in Norwalk" The ad copy exaggerated certain parts of her body, included offers of nontraditional sex and insinuated the victim was full of sexual stamina by assuring potential men that "twice is nice, if you can."
The ad also told potential partners she would be available "24/7" for them and included her street address and telephone number, which led one man who answered the ad to her door where he was greeted by the victim's angry husband.
Bet that was a little awkward. Just goes to show why you should always call ahead when answering ads for kinky sex on Craigslist.
But seriously, this fuck does something like this over a no refill? A no refill? For Christ's sake dummies who can't keep track of their own refills stopped getting so much as an eye roll from me years ago. I mean really, save something like this for the people who ask why you had to go to college to just stand around and count pills all day, that would be my advice.
Anyway, if you know where this dumbass is, call the Norwalk police at (203) 854-3111, and hope they don't "prevail" 9 months later by applying for a search warrant.
Thanks to the alert reader who tipped me to the story.

Norwalk, if I remember correctly, is the city where the police couldn't tell the difference between a computer virus and someone clicking on a website so the detective perjured himself on the stand. The persecuted substitute teacher eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser offense out of exhaustion (the stress caused her to miscarry). Lloyd Duplantis, Jonathan Medina, and the Norwalk police are a match made in heaven.
I think had I been the victim, I'd have gone to his place of business and gutted him. Sorry but... And I'd claim self defense.
Here's a tip for the Norwalk PD: If you think he's left Connecticut, check to see if he's licensed to practice in other states. That ought to narrow down the possibilities.
What a schmoe.
Maybe he did it b/c she came to the pharmacy at 9:15 at NIGHT and they close at 9:30.
That used to really piss me off. You've worked a 12 hour shift and now you have a rude, problem customer 15 minutes before closing. What the hell was she doing all day long?
And 2 counts of computer crimes?? What about HIPPA? He used PHI on Craigslist to cause harm. He should be charged with more than that.
I'll always think of the shitstorm that is the Norwalk virus whenever I hear about a town named Norwalk...oh the micro[biology] stories...
The original article isn't loading for me, but based on your post, I would really like to know how they found out it was *him* that did it.
Craigslist logs everything...every IP from every post.
That can be cross referenced to the ISP who logs who had what IP when...
Not much of a stretch...should have been an easy/quick process. A certain craigslist killer (not the big time one of recent) was caught in a matter of hours by an adept PD...
He turned himself in on Thursday, BTW.
This guy was no genius. He posted the Craigslist ad from a CVS computer before he left work that night. What a dumbass. Not only can the IP be traced, but CVS knows who was logged into that PC at the time it was posted. I agree that the feds need to step in and make a HIPPA example out of him. I just cringe when I see these stories on the news, because it sullies all our reputations.
I've never heard of Lloyd Duplantis. What a douche!! If you don't want to dispense BCP's, WORK IN A HOSPITAL!!
The patient must have been rude or the pharmacist had some social disorder. No normal pharmacist would do this under normal conditions. Also, pharmacists do more than "count pills." It's actually the technicians that do that. Pharmacists know more about the medications being prescribed to patients than the doctors do.
You obviously don't know what your talking about. I think u should go back to school. Pharmacists don't just count pills the technicians do all that. These patients lives are in these pharmacists hands that is why they have to go to college. You must not be very educated to not know that. This patient must have been very annoying or even rude. Just because she does not have any refills does not give her the right to go off on any pharmacist or technician. It's not they fault or there responsibility to remind people to take care of them selves. People depend on them too much. They aren't your medicine babysitters, they don't need to open your mouth and place the pill inside for u people. She sounds ungreatful, at least he has nice enough to advance her some meds. He didn't have to do that for her.
