According to a news report of a U.S. Attorney's Office announcement, a former administrative assistant at a university hospital in Washington, DC was charged in October 2016 with forging prescriptions to obtain oxycodone. A federal grand jury indicted the former employee on eight counts of distribution of oxycodone and eight counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud. The alleged conduct took place between April 20 and June 13, 2016.
Investigators alleged that the employee used access to a blank prescription pad belonging to a nurse-practitioner at the hospital to create fraudulent prescriptions. Prosecutors said the forged scripts yielded a total of about 600 oxycodone pills over that period.
The employee was first arrested on August 12, 2016 and charged in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, where a not-guilty plea was entered. With the federal indictment, the Superior Court case was to be dismissed so the U.S. Attorney's Office could proceed in U.S. District Court. The DEA and the Metropolitan Police Department investigated.
The report notes that an indictment is a formal accusation and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. The source does not describe the outcome of the federal case.
