Shortly before 9pm, the pharmacy in the Kroger Supermarket called police when a woman came in to pick up a prescription that was fraudulent. The pharmacy had been alerted to the scam by the pharmacy at the St. Albans K-Mart. In verifying a prescription in the same name, it was discovered that the physician had not issued it. The prescription was for Lortab, a narcotic painkiller (http://www.drugs.com/lortab.html).

The woman that came to pick up the filled prescription was Lisa Michele Burnsworth (40 y.o.a. from St. Albans). The name on the prescription was her boyfriend. She was arrested and transported to Kan Co Magistrate Court for arraignment. She was charged with Attempting to Obtain a Fraudulent Prescription. Burnsworth was released on a $20,000 PR Bond by Magistrate Carol Fouty.

Burnsworth is on federal supervised release in relation to a meth lab conviction from a 2005 meth lab arrest in St. Albans. She is employed at a doctor's office in the Charleston area, but not the same doctor whose name was used on the fraudulent prescription.

Ptl. Marc Gilbert is the arresting officer and is investigating.
