Annie Dhookan was a rising star and the MVP at her job as a drug lab chemist at the Hinton State Laboratory Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. Annie's role was test drugs or other substances that were brought in by arresting officers, see if they were of the illegal variety, and sometimes, to testify in a court of law. But Annie was so good at her job, she was getting complaints from the other chemists. She was too good at her job. It would eventually come to light that Annie was testing more than five times the amount of substances of her co-workers. She was doing this by dry-labbing, or packaging some of the similar-looking drugs together and calling it a day. This was illegal.
Across the state, and a mere few months after Annie Dhookan was caught, another chemist at the Amherst Lab in Western Massachusetts, was also up to no good. Sonja Farak was good at her job, as well, but she was also a drug addict. Her addiction got so bad, that she was stealing drugs from work, snorting cocaine, and smoking meth and crack. Crack that she would cook at her desk. Dhookan and Farak's Drug Lab Scandals would rock the state from the East to the West, and Massachusett's drug conviction rates would never be the same again.
