Blotter: Pills not what the doctor ordered, police say

Denton police say a doctor working out of the 2100 block of Brinker Road reported on Thursday that someone tried to use his identifying information to fill a prescription of Xanax, according to a police report.

The doctor told police it was a former employee who allegedly tried it. A police spokeswoman said a pharmacy called the doctor’s office to confirm a prescription and was told the doctor had not ordered the prescription.

The spokeswoman said the suspect was trying to get anti-anxiety medication. Police took a report, but the case was not cleared as of Friday, the report shows.
