NYC comptroller candidate Kristin Davis charged with illegally distributing Rx pills
NYC comptroller candidate Kristin Davis charged with illegally distributing prescription pills for cash
Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer wants to be comptroller of New York City, and so does Kristin Davis, the former madam who says he was one of her clients.

Kristin Davis, a candidate for New York City comptroller, was arrested in Manhattan on Monday on charges of selling prescription pills, including oxycodone, for cash, the FBI said.
Davis, who is running against former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, was expected to be arraigned in federal court Tuesday.
Davis sold hundreds of prescription pills to an FBI informant, federal officials said.
According to a complaint unsealed in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, Davis sold prescription pills containing amphetamine, alprazolam, zolpidem and carisoprodol on three occasions from January to March to "a person she knew from prior purchases and sales to be a drug dealer." The person was working with the FBI and equipped with a recording device, the complaint states.
In April, Davis "arranged for another individual to sell approximately 180 oxycodone pills" to the informant.
Davis, 38, was charged 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.
A spokesperson for Davis' campaign was not immediately available for comment.
The libertarian candidate is the sixth person to be arrested in the FBI's ongoing investigation into the illegal distribution of prescription drugs in New York City.
"This type of criminal activity is illegal for citizens, and is especially unbecoming for a person seeking public office in the City of New York," FBI Assistant Director George Venizelos said in a statement.
Davis, a former madam who claims Spitzer was one of her clients, served jail time in the fallout from the 2008 prostitution scandal that led to the then-governor's resignation.
