A LaCenter woman is facing prescription fraud charges.

The Paducah Police Department says a local pharmacy notified detectives that 31-year-old Jennifer Williams had picked up a Clonazepam prescription for her boyfriend after he allegedly called to approve it. Police later discovered that the boyfriend was incarcerated at the time, and was not the one who had called the pharmacy.

Detectives said they contacted Williams, who confirmed that the pharmacy had called and said the prescription was ready to be picked up. She reportedly told police that she had another man impersonate her boyfriend and call the pharmacy, then she picked up the prescription. She said she flushed the medication a short time after arriving home with it.

Williams was indicted by a McCracken County grand jury on a charge of attempting to or obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, false statement or forgery. She turned herself in Wednesday evening and was booked into McCracken County Regional Jail.
