Scott Robinson Toltrazuril Sentence Shows Why Online Animal Drugs Need FDA Receipts

BadPD source-check, June 20, 2026; source dates March 9, 2021, May 16, 2024, March 11, 2026, and June 19, 2026: the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida says Scott Robinson, 51, of Pace, Florida, was sentenced to 20 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to two counts of Drug Adulteration.

This is a consumer and animal-health accountability story. The public record is not only that a seller went to prison. The record is that animal drugs were marketed online across state lines, purchased by the FBI, tested by FDA, and found to be part of an unapproved/adulterated animal-drug lane that ordinary buyers were expected to trust.

What DOJ Says Happened

DOJ says court documents show Robinson advertised and sold the animal drug toltrazuril through a website from 2022 to 2025. The government says customers were spread across the United States. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, DOJ says toltrazuril is deemed an adulterated new animal drug and is subject to requirements for production, labeling, and sale.

The release says the FBI made multiple purchases of items labeled and advertised as toltrazuril from Robinson’s website. FDA then tested those items and confirmed they contained toltrazuril. DOJ says Robinson never complied with FDA regulations for producing, labeling, and selling the drug. The case was investigated by the FBI and FDA and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Christopher C. Patterson and Ward Narramore.

The Repeat-Offender Context

DOJ’s “repeat offender” wording matters because this was not Robinson’s first federal animal-drug case. In 2021, the Southern District of New York announced Robinson had been sentenced to 18 months in prison in connection with years of selling and distributing adulterated and misbranded drugs, including performance-enhancing drugs marketed to racehorse trainers and others in the racehorse industry. The same official release said he was ordered to forfeit more than $3 million.

That history turns this from a single seller case into a platform-and-enforcement question: after a prior federal conviction and forfeiture, what public records show whether domains, payment processors, marketplace tools, fulfillment channels, and business registrations were monitored when a similar online drug lane reappeared?

FDA Warning And Entity Receipts

FDA’s May 16, 2024 warning letter is a separate receipt that should be handled precisely. The letter went to Yvette Pittman, CEO of Toltrazuril Shop, at a Pace, Florida address. FDA said it reviewed Toltrazuril Shop websites and social-media pages from December 2023 through May 2024 and found marketing of unapproved new animal drugs containing toltrazuril. FDA also warned about food-producing animal concerns because residues in meat, milk, or eggs can become a human-consumer safety issue.

Florida Division of Corporations records separately show Toltrazuril Shop LLC, filed October 26, 2022, inactive after a voluntary dissolution filed December 18, 2023, with Scott Robinson listed as registered agent and manager. That entity record is useful context, but BadPD is not using it as a substitute for the federal criminal-case record. DOJ’s June 19 sentencing release controls the conviction and sentence facts; FDA and Sunbiz help map the broader online-animal-drug receipt trail.

Confirmed, Alleged, Pending

Confirmed by current DOJ: Robinson received a 20-month federal sentence; he pleaded guilty to two Drug Adulteration counts; DOJ ties the conduct to 2022-2025 website sales of toltrazuril to customers across the United States; FBI purchases and FDA testing are part of the official case summary; and the case was investigated by the FBI and FDA.

Confirmed by older official records: DOJ SDNY previously announced Robinson’s 18-month sentence and forfeiture order in a racehorse-drug adulteration/misbranding case. FDA separately issued a 2024 Toltrazuril Shop warning letter. Florida corporate records separately identify Robinson as registered agent/manager of Toltrazuril Shop LLC.

Pending records: the final judgment, supervised-release conditions, forfeiture or restitution terms, domain and payment-processor records, customer-notice records, any adverse-event reports, FDA closeout or response records, and whether any platforms, suppliers, shippers, or payment processors had warning signs before the federal sentence.

BadPD Bottom Line

Online animal-drug sellers should not be able to substitute marketing language for FDA receipts. The useful follow-up is practical: identify the website and entity chain, check whether products stayed reachable after official warnings, track what processors and platforms enabled the sales, and publish what buyers, veterinarians, livestock owners, and regulators still need to know.
