Episode Details

SMRT1 Health Solutions is being forced to hand over $170,000 to the county after months of stalled negotiations — a sum they were supposed to return following their contract cancellation last June. The company, which operated overdose reversal drug vending machines under a subcontract with the Harm Reduction Coalition, was caught in the crosshairs of an embezzlement scandal involving a former county contractor. When the county lawyer mysteriously stopped responding to requests for approval, a judge stepped in, ordering SMRT1 to deposit the funds into court. Despite this, the county insists it’s still investigating and won’t drop its claim — vowing to aggressively recover every penny as part of the ongoing criminal probe.
