Arrest Warrants Issued For Woman That Allegedly Faked Prescriptions For Cop

May 4, 2010

Warrants have been issued for the arrest of the Atmore woman accused of calling fake prescriptions into a Century pharmacy for an Atmore police officer.

Ashley Megan Nall, 24, of Atmore, hasoutstanding warrants for two felony counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, according to Sgt. Ted Roy, spokesperson for the Escambia County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Office.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, Nall called in prescriptions for Lortab and Keflex to area pharmacies.  The prescriptions were then picked up by Ronald Sanford Freeman, 23, of Flomaton. The pair would then split the pills, according to the Sheriff’s Office incident report.

Freeman turned himself in at the Escambia County Jail last Friday on two felony counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud. Prior to his arrest, Freeman resigned his position as a police officer in Atmore for “personal  reasons”, according to Atmore Police Chief Jason Dean.

Nall was employed by Dr. Francis Salter of Atmore, and she is Salter’s granddaughter, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

Two such prescriptions were called in to the Century Pharmacy and filled on February 5 and March 5. Both were in Ronald Freeman’s name, and both were for 90 Lortab pills, according to the ECSO report. When Century Pharmacy received another call-in prescription on April 19 for 90 Lortabs and 20 Keflex, they became suspicious and called Dr. Salter to verify that she had issued the prescription. When Dr. Salter said that she did not issue the prescriptions and that Freeman was not her patient, the sheriff’s department was contacted.

Anyone with information about Nall’s whereabouts is asked to call the Escambia County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or their local law enforcement agency.

    The holdup probably because they wanted to make sure the evidence and paperwork were sufficient enough to have a criminal case against her. Both of those police departments have probably messed up in the past with the way they wrote and executed warrants, so they just want to make sure all the t’s are crossed and all the i’s are dotted before they arrest someone.

    Well it’s about time that she was implicated too. I wonder what the hold up is with the authorities in Alabama charging these two for their Atmore and Flomaton pill frauds.
