Prescription Fraud at Walgreens Leads to One Arrest

FREMONT – An out of state resident tried to fill a fraudulent prescription in Fremont this weekend. Instead of her prescription drugs, she ended up getting a trip to jail.
25-year-old Brandi Bolden of Asheville, North Carolina, dropped off the phony script at Fremont’s Walgreens on Sunday. The pharmacist  on duty and pharmacy technicians  flagged the prescription as fraudulent, and notified the Nebraska State Patrol. Bolden returned to the pharmacy, using the drive-thru, and attempted to pick up the script. A Nebraska State Patrol officer, responding to the report of a prescription fraud in progress, parked directly in front of Bolden’s Jeep, blocking her exit.

The trooper exited his vehicle. Bolden reversed her vehicle, striking the vehicle behind her before intentionally ramming the Trooper’s vehicle in front of her. Bolden then struck the building twice while trying to drive around the patrol vehicle. The Jeep was incapacitated in the process.

The North Carolina woman was arrested on suspicion of prescription fraud, assault on an officer using a motor vehicle and flight to avoid arrest.
