FAKE PRESCRIPTION CALLED IN
Police said the arrest involved the anti-anxiety drug Xanax, a sedative that can become addictive and is often abused for its heroin-like effect of slowing the brain down.
A Tallahassee Police report released Tuesday said the incident started when a woman claiming to be a doctor called a Tallahassee Walgreens, authorizing a prescription for Noelle Bush.
The pharmacy checked with a colleague of the doctor, Dr. Noel Scidmore, who said he was no longer practicing in Tallahassee and that the phoned-in prescription should be treated as fraudulent.
Pharmacist Carlos Zimmerman said Noelle Bush later called the pharmacy to ask about the prescription and was told it couldn’t be filled because no quantity was given, according to police. Someone claiming to be Scidmore called back and gave a quantity. When Noelle Bush called back she was told the prescription would be ready in about 40 minutes, according to the report.
Police were called when she arrived for the prescription, and she was arrested while waiting in her car in the drive-thru lane early Tuesday morning.
Noelle Bush later admitted to police that the contact number for Scidmore that was left on the pharmacy answering machine was her second home phone line, investigators said.
Cant say that I am surprised at all.
MSNBC ups the ante. Let's put on the limbo music, and see which news agency can get under the bar as its lowered.
First time I've seen it compared to heroin. I've always seen it compared to Valium.
Certainly is a scary way to lead off an article.
