DECATUR, Alabama
Police arrested a doctor's employee on two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance after they say she called in narcotic prescriptions for herself while pretending to be her boss.
Heather Hogan Clark, 40, of Athens was arrested Friday and transferred to Morgan County Jail under bonds totaling $5,000, police said in a news release.
Police said Clark got 72 hydrocodone pills from the Walgreens pharmacy at 1127 Sixth Ave. S.E. after she phoned in five separate prescriptions for herself. Clark pretended to be Dr. Stephanie Teichmiller, who Clark worked for, each time she called in a prescription, police said.
Teichmiller reported Clark to the police in March, police said. Police in August determined through pharmacy records that Clark had picked up prescriptions for 72 hydrocodone pills between Jan. 24 and Feb. 23, the news release said.
