Woman Jailed For Allegedly Faking Prescriptions For Cop
May 5, 2010
The Atmore woman accused of calling fake prescriptions into a Century pharmacy for an Atmore police officer has been arrested.
Ashley Megan Nall, 24, of Atmore, was arrested in Escambia County, Ala., on Escambia County, Fla., warrants for two felony counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud. She is being held in the Escambia County (Ala.) Detention Center in Brewton pending extradition to Florida.
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.

Hahaha Jon…
I’ll be sure to consult with you before undertaking any fake prescription schemes.
i’m not sure if anyone has already mentioned this, but i’m a new grad nurse and i’ve got to say the 2nd dumbest thing they did (behind ordering false prescriptions of course) was getting the keflex twice in a row. they could’ve asked a first semester nursing student and they would have told them that nobody takes that much keflex, it’s an antibiotic for god’s sake. if they would have went with protonix or zofran or something like that, they’d still be out. so it’s a good thing most criminals are dumb as hell.
They thought call in an antibiotic along with the pain killers would make it seem a lot less suspicious. It’s what I’d do if I was a criminal.
Love the sinner. Hate the sin
David writes the truth, or the common sense others seem to lack…..
thank you david.
REGARDING:
” It amazes me that people can sit back and post judgement on others. Yes, what they did was wrong. And they do need the punishment. No question about that. ”
isn’t judgment saying it was wrong and they should be punished?
Exactly like you just did?
David the nonjudgmental confused
I do not know the young lady, but I do know Ron and his family. It amazes me that people can sit back and post judgement on others. Yes, what they did was wrong. And they do need the punishment. No question about that. The bashing that goes on with everything on the web site really sickens me. I would not want things said about me or my family during our time of pain, mistakes, and so forth. Freedom of speech is one thing, but being cruel is another. Go get your own skeletons out of your closets, and write about them, or better yet, deal with them, and leave others alone.
I’m glad they got them both, they both need to get the punishment that
anyother drug offender would get and pay the piper.
Their adults and they knew better. If you can’t do the time, don’t do
the crime!
Glad 2 see they gots that chick!!!
he probably had a legit infection and figured he would get her to write a Rx for it so he wouldn’t have to pay money to see a doctor.
Best news I’ve heard in a long time….
VERY glad to see that she has been arrested . She NEEDS to be locked up for a long time .
glad to see this piece of trash in jail.
I guess people never cease to amaze me. I have seen several cases of pain killer addiction and abuse but this is certainly an odd case when people are calling in fake RX’s for antibiotics. Keflex? Really?
