Woman, husband arrested for falsifying prescriptions
Acting on a call from local pharmacist Rusty Lawrence, Carlisle Police Officer Brad Weaver has arrested a Ewing couple on drug related charges.
The arrests occurred on Aug. 16 at 1:13 p.m. on Main Street in Carlisle.
Jennifer Buchanan, 22, of Ewing, was charged with possession of a controlled substance first offense; theft of prescription blank for a controlled substance, first offense; and, acts relating to a controlled substance.
Weaver’s arrest citation says that Jennifer Buchanan called in a prescription to Carlisle (Rexall) Drug stating she was a representative from Dr. Michael Dunaway’s office and needed to call in a subscription for Brittney Lewis.
Weaver said Buchanan came to the Rexall Drug and picked up the prescription and, she was also in possession of a prescription from Dr. Gehring’s office, which was filled out in Mrs. Lewis’ name.
Officer Weaver, while in the process of arresting Jennifer Buchanan, ultimately charged Cody Buchanan, 23, also of Ewing. Weaver said Buchanan was in the vehicle with his wife and as he and Kentucky State Police Trooper Eric Barnett observed Cody Buchanan putting something in the floorboard where the trooper discovered a used needle. He told officers he had it in the vehicle for shoot oxycodone.
Cody Buchanan was charged with first offense possession of drug paraphernalia.
Weaver said he told Cody Buchanan earlier not to bring that kind of thing back to Carlisle again. “We don’t want that kind of thing here.”
Kentucky State Police Trooper Eric Barnett was with Weaver during the arrests.
