Jun. 6—A woman was arrested on Tuesday and charged with obtaining a controlled substance by fraud after she allegedly gave two prescriptions to a pharmacy in Hartselle under a different name, according to an affidavit signed by a Hartselle police lieutenant.
Dorian Jada Brazley, 28, was transported by Hartselle police to Morgan County Jail and held in lieu of $50,000 bail. Jail records show her still in custody as of Wednesday morning.
According to the affidavit, at approximately 5:43 p.m. on Tuesday, a pharmacy technician at Kroger took possession of two prescriptions presented by Brazley.
“Brazley claimed the prescriptions were for her cousin, identified on the prescription forms as Jaylen T. Moore,” the affidavit said.
The prescriptions were for 30 mg of Oxycodone and Lubiprostone 24 mcg capsules, which is a laxative used for chronic constipation.
The technician and pharmacist became suspicious because of the unusual formatting and presentation of the prescriptions that were inconsistent with typical prescriptions issued by this specific doctor, who the affidavit identified as a family physician in Decatur.
After calling the doctor’s office, the affidavit said the pharmacist was informed the prescriptions were forgeries and they called the Hartselle police department.
“While law enforcement was en route, the suspect departed the location but returned at approximately 7:30 p.m. to inquire about picking up the prescriptions,” the affidavit said.
Officers were then called again and arrived on scene to detain Brazley and transported her to the Hartselle police department to speak with investigators.
