Thanks, I thought it may be something like that but am unfamiliar with it. Looks like she wasn’t too good at it being the number of times she was busted but surely made a lot of money.
I’m guessing that the multiple entries of Obtaining Controlled Substance by Fraud were all counts in the same charging information that resulted from an investigation of her that spanned a few months. Prescription fraud investigative units will identify a suspect, and pull their “patient profiles” from all the major pharmacies, and use that to build a case. Sometimes they will also go the to the doctors and find out they were lying about not seeing other doctors, etc...
Usually the doctors and pharmcies will cooperate with the authorities.
Not too uncommon to use the multiple prescriptions in a short time frame to show that all of them were fraudulent. They charge seven counts, then the defendant cops a plea to two or three, does a little time, and the case is closed.
