Impersonator Gets Prescription Painkillers from Stamford ER: PD
The victim learned when she went to her local pharmacy to pick up her own prescription.
STAMFORD, CT—An impostor used a Bridgeport woman's name to get prescription pain pills from the Stamford Hospital emergency room, according to police.
A Bridgeport woman went to her local pharmacy Tuesday and was turned away from getting her own pain medication because someone used her maiden name to fill a prescription at Stamford Hospital two days prior, according to the Stamford Advocate.
She suspects it was her cousin who has a history of impersonating her in order to get painkillers.
