A former doctor’s office worker is accused of writing more than 100 phony prescriptions that were filled at a pharmacy, Butler police said.

Tammy Lee, 46, of Butler is charged in a Feb. 22 arrest warrant with 732 criminal counts in the prescription fraud investigation.

Police said Lee between 2013 and early this year forged 129 prescriptions while she worked at the office of a pair of family medicine physicians in the 300 block of North Main Street.

Lee was fired Feb. 1 when the alleged wrongdoing was uncovered, police said.

Officials at the medical office found that Lee had faxed the bogus prescriptions, in the name of the physicians, to the Kmart pharmacy at the Pullman Square shopping plaza between Oct. 19, 2013, and Jan. 25 of this year.

Police said 108 of the prescriptions were for nine controlled substances. Charging documents did not identify the drugs.

The physicians had not prescribed or approved of any of the prescriptions for the defendant, according to a police affidavit.

In a Feb. 5 interview at the station, Lee admitted to forging all but one of the prescriptions, documents said.

Police said she also acknowledged that after she sent the fake prescriptions, she would delete all the information from the medical office computer.

She is charged with 129 felony counts of identity theft and 108 felony counts of acquisition of a controlled substance by fraud.

Additionally, she is charged with 129 counts each of forgery, tampering with records, and counterfeiting or simulating a mark or stamp, and 108 counts of possession of a controlled substance, all misdemeanors.

Lee could not be reached for comment, and it was not known if she has an attorney.
