A nurse in Arkansas faces criminal concerns after using a dead man’s name when trying to buy oxicodon pills in pharmacies.

Caitlin Carol Adams was accused of three charges of fraud or deception to buy anesthetic prescription in drugs in relation to multiple drug purchases last month, according to Kait.

Adams was accused of using a fake prescription to buy 120 oxicodon pills in a pharmacy in Junsburo, Arkansas, on January 2, the perpetrator said.

She claimed that she worked in a home to care for the elderly and that the pills were for the patient.

Investigators said Adams, a registered nurse licensed according to the Arkasas Nursing Council, used a credit card bearing her name to buy grains.

In the statement, investigators said: “After looking at the prescription, an employee at the pharmacy contacted the nursing house in question, and stated that Kitlene Adams had been expelled on January 1.”

Adams returned to the same pharmacy on January 6 with another prescription for 180 oxicodone, according to the investigators.

The statement said that the prescription was under the name of the man who later determined to be sick in the same nursing house, where Adams had previously worked.

The man whose name was on the recipe has also died since December 30.

The pharmacy refused to fill the prescription of Adams.
