BURLINGTON and FORT MADISON, Iowa (KWQC) - A former pharmacist in the State of Iowa has been disciplined and has agreed to surrender his license.

According to court documents, Josef Blunier, a former pharmacist at Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center Pharmacy in Fort Madison and a part-time pharmacist at Hy-Vee Pharmacy in Burlington, has agreed to surrender his license following allegations that he “diverted” a significant amount of narcotics from Hy-Vee through various means.
