Woman Forged Dead Doctor Prescription in Greenwich: PD

GREENWICH, CT—A Somers, N.Y. woman was arrested after it was found she attempted to pass two fraudulent prescriptions at Greenwich Pharmacy.

The pharmacist tried to contact the doctor who supposedly prescribed the medicine, but couldn't make contact, police said. The pharmacist contacted the doctor's son who is also a doctor and informed the pharmacist that his father had been dead for more than a year.

Karne Uomoleale, 42, was detained by police and said she didn't know the doctor was deceased, but that she knew something was wrong with the method used to obtain the prescriptions.

Uomoleale was also found to be in possession of nine pills of a Schedule IV substance.

She was charged with two counts of second-degree forgery, obtaining drugs by fraud, criminal attempt to possess a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.
