Federal investigators say 47-year-old Basil Itani was trafficking large amounts of oxycodone and methadone. He was the owner of Itani Family Pharmacy when he was arrested in June.
Itani took a plea deal in September, pleading guilty to distributing a controlled substance.
In Orlando on Wednesday, federal Judge Roy Dalton sentenced Itani to 12 months and one day in prison.
