Mr. Hazard is an Associate Editor of this paper and a former president of Birnam Wood Golf Club. Drug Bust in Montecito? R umors were rampant last Wednesday as federal agents from the Los Angeles Field Division of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) swarmed the Upper Village to serve an inspection search warrant on the iconic San Ysidro Pharmacy and its popular owner Steve Hoyt. The audit began at roughly 9 am and ended by mid-afternoon.

Customers were surprised to see the pharmacy closed while federal agents loaded their vehicles with six boxes of files and computer records. Callers to the pharmacy seeking information received a recorded message: “Due to unusual circumstances, we will be closed today (Wednesday) until further notice. We may be open later in the day, but we do apologize for the inconvenience and we will keep you posted.” A sign posted outside the pharmacy read: “We will open a little later today,” but the pharmacy did not reopen until Thursday morning. Pharmacy employees have said only, “We are pretty much in the dark what this is all about. They just took some records from us and said it was an on-going investigation.”

Rumors Abound

Wagging tongues in Montecito immediately leaped to imaginative scenarios. Nearby store owners tried to dampen the most outrageous claims, but this is Montecito.
