A nurse in Arkansas is facing felony charges after allegedly using a dead man's name when attempting to purchase oxycodone pills at pharmacies.
Caitlin Carol Adams was charged with three counts of fraud or deceit to procure a narcotic drug-forged prescription in connection with multiple drug purchases last month, according to KAIT.
Adams is accused of using a fake prescription to purchase 120 oxycodone pills at a pharmacy in Jonesboro, Arkansas, on Jan. 2, the outlet reported.
She claimed she worked at a nursing home and that the pills were for a patient.
Investigators said Adams, who is a licensed registered nurse according to the Arkansas State Board of Nursing, used a credit card with her name on it to buy the pills.
"After looking into the prescription, an employee of the pharmacy contacted the nursing home in question, and they stated that Caitlin Adams was fired on Jan. 1," investigators said in the affidavit, KAIT reported.
Adams returned to the same pharmacy on Jan. 6 with another prescription for 180 oxycodone pills, according to investigators.
The prescription was under a man's name who was later determined to have been a patient at the same nursing home where Adams previously worked, the affidavit said.
The man whose name was on the prescription had also been dead since Dec. 30.

Tenacious, it seems.
But probably still on the voters’ rolls.

There ought to be a requirement that the voter roles
where a person lived at should be notified upon a death
certificate issue. Not sure who all gets notification
upon death.
was a licensed registered nurse..
hehehe
It looks like a match made in . . . well somewhere.
She’s pretty. Too bad she ruined her life.
Yeah, she’s not horrible in appearance. Sad.

Arkansas!
There have been a lot of people who got hooked on Oxy after being prescribed it for actual injuries.
The problem is once your prescription runs out the only alternative is HEROINE. A buddy's wife was prescribed it after getting injured in a car accident. It took her YEARS to get off it. Ruined their marriage and her life. She never had an addiction problem prior to that. She was a housewife/realtor. She was not even a big drinker.
IMHO, a lot of people do not start out intending to be drug addicts
For some (I imagine) it just gets a deep hold on them. I’m amazed, frankly, that some are able to break off from the hard stuff.
I never had any desire, thank God. Never tried it in any form.
However, I was in the hospital (unfortunately) decades and decades ago. I felt what the painkillers did to me - it was like a wild rollercoaster ride. I would have preferred the injury had not occurred obviously.
