A Gurdon woman has been charged with multiple felonies in connection with forging a prescription from a Clark County hospital.
Gracie Lynn Hill, 35, 1306 Highway 53 N., was arrested after she reportedly forged an order for the prescription drug Stadol.
According to information on file with the Clark County Circuit Clerk, Hill was seen by a local emergency room physician on Sept. 16. The report filed by Arkadelphia Police Department officer Pete Dixon indicated that Hill took a prescription for two drugs, including Stadol, to a local pharmacy where it was filled. On Sept. 22, Hill’s daughter was apparently seen at the emergency room and also received a prescription from the emergency room physician. That prescription also reportedly included two prescriptions, including Stadol.
Hill reportedly took the second prescription to the same pharmacy. When the pharmacy told Hill that they were out of Stadol, Hill reportedly became agitated and canceled the prescription.
Noting the behavior, a pharmacy employee called the emergency room to verify the order and discovered that neither of the prescriptions written included Stadol, according to Dixon’s report. Court records indicate that a copy of the prescriptions verified that fact.
Hill now faces charges of “attempting to obtain a controlled substance by fraud,” which carries a potential sentence of up to six years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Hill is also charged for the Stadol she received upon presenting the first prescription. That felony count carries a sentence of three to 10 years and a fine.
