Nationwide Drug Testing and On-Site Medical Services By Mobile Medical Corporation

Federal Agents in Pittsburgh recently targeted Sharp Labs out of Port Orange, Florida for producing materials that were claimed to help individuals pass their drug tests. Sharp Labs owned and operated by Stephen Sharp will be facing money laundering, fraud and drug charges. The Pittsburgh-Post Gazette is reporting that Sharp Labs sold an instant drink mix that could be used to mask urine used in federal drug screens. In October, a report out of Nashville, TN brought to light the use of synthetic urine for cheating drug tests. The fake urine is manufactured and sold in novelty and gag shops and is the newest weapon that drug users are turning to to defeat drug testing . A report out of Illinois this fall describes how an individual was planning to cheat on his urine drug test. By strapping a condom of another person's urine to his leg and using a hidden razor blade to cut the condom and access the urine is how Justin Head planned on passing his drug test. Head was caught even b...

A Vermont bus driver was recently arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. The driver was transporting the Mount Mansfield Union High School hockey team back from a match when he was arrested. The driver, Shane McBrayer's blood alcohol content was .15. According to WCAX in Vermont his BAC was seven times the legal limit. To make matters worse, McBrayer has a prior criminal record. He has two robbery related convictions and one DUI conviction. When a background check was performed on the driver the DUI did not show up. Vermont Public Safety Officials say that the DUI conviction wasn't listed on McBrayer's record because DUIs are only listed if it's a repeat offense or if the DUI resulted in death or serious injury. Superintendent Jim Massingham said, "We normally don't hire people with convictions. This was unusual because of the recommendations we got. Knowing what I know now, I would have done it differently." The Office of Nation...
