Mass. Woman Arrested for False 'Script

The New Hampshire State Police Narcotics and Investigations Drug Diversion Unit arrested a Massachusetts woman last month after a false prescription investigated that started in Salem last year.

Colleen Torname, 45, of Bernard Lane in Methuen, MA, was arrested on Dec. 30, 2014, on a warrant for presenting a false prescription.

According to investigators, Torname allegedly presented a prescription for Fentanyl at a Walgreens in Salem on Oct. 20.

“The prescription was alleged to have been written by a Lawrence, MA eye doctor,” according to investigators. “The prescription was checked for its authenticity and confirmed to be fraudulent through the doctor.”

Torname was arrested in Concord and released on $4,000 personnel recognizance bail and issued a court date to appear at the 10th Circuit-District Division, Salem, on Feb. 11.

The New Hampshire State Police Narcotics and Investigations Drug Diversion Unit was assisted with this arrest by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA-Boston Office) and the Methuen MA Police Department.
