Tampa Bay Criminal Defense Lawyer - Prescription pad stealing

By Nick Dorsten, Esq.

From the Times website...

PINELLAS COUNTY — Two Brooksville residents, including a woman with 13 prior drug convictions, are accused of stealing a prescription pad from a doctor's office.

A woman and a man, both 46, were arrested Friday on charges of petty theft and illegal possession of 15 counterfeit-resistant prescription blanks. They were each being held on $75,250 bonds.

The two criminal defendants were in a doctor's office for an appointment at Springs Family Medical Center in Weeki Wachee when the woman noticed the prescription pad, authorities said.

Hernando County Sheriff's deputies said she then slid the pad in her purse, gave it to the man and he left the center. Deputies said both admitted later that they had taken the pad, and she pulled it out from under the back seat of his vehicle.
