Woman Accused Of Faking Prescriptions For Cop Jailed In Florida
May 13, 2010
The Atmore woman accused of calling fake prescriptions into a Century pharmacy for an Atmore police officer has been extradited to Florida to face charges.
Ashley Megan Nall, 24, of Atmore, was arrested earlier this month in Escambia County, Ala., on Escambia County, Fla., warrants for two felony counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud. She was held in the Escambia County (Ala.) Detention Center in Brewton pending extradition to Florida.
Nall was booked into the Escambia County (Fla.) Jail early Wednesday evening. She was released on $5,000 bond.
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.

its to bad the hurt that people that are doing the wrong can cause everybody else
@Car Dealer:
They have plenty of life ahead, and can turn it around… neither are necessarily banned from their professions for life, they’ll just have to work harder.
@Opinions:
lol? How very observant of you. Try to find someone online flash games, they’re fun and easy to learn.
@Everyone else
Why do things like this always invoke god’s holy redemption? *If* he’s out there he probably doesn’t want anything to do with this.
Wondering why escambia cty Alabama police have notcharged this woman also? In earlier articles she was calling in prescriptions for Ron Freeman to Walgreens on JayAtmore and Flomaton pharmacy too . Neither have been charged for the Crime alledgedly committed on Al.
Things that happen like this really makes it hard for everyone to grasp. But my prayers will be with every family involved in this and may GOD bless everyone and heal your pain. And remember GOD will not give you anything you can not handle. Give it to him and he will carry the load.
I pray that your faith not fail and that your faith will be strengthend .
“For the LORD is able to do exceedingly , abundantly, above all that we ask or think.”
Love and prayers to all of you
Now correct me if I’m wrong but u thought you can not have a narcodic called into a pharmacy!
Sorry to see two young people make such bad decisions that will follow them throughout their lives. This is their chance to turn their lives around. Don’t blow it.
She looks a lil’ happy 2 b n jail?
You know this just goes to show you how easy it is for peoples lives to be destroyed. Ron was a great young cop with his whole life ahead of him. Ashley had a great opertunity to get into the medical field working and learning from Mrs Francis. And now they have let this awful disease ruin there lives. I hope this will set a example to people how easy it is to have perscription drug abused and the FDA will crack down on who can call perscriptions in. And for our local police to have one of there own to show such discrace.. I know his dad is tore up on the inside for this to happen
