PRESTONSBURG - A Johnson County woman who allegedly altered a prescription for pain pills was arrested this week in Prestonsburg.

Sandra L. Burchett, 27, of Van Lear, was released on a $1,000 cash bond after her arrest Monday by Prestonsburg Police Officer Trent Combs.

Burchett, charged with a felony count of making a false statement about a prescription, allegedly altered a prescription prescribed to her by Dr. Charles Hieronymus.

According to the citation, Combs was contacted by Rite Aid Pharmacy in the Highlands Plaza regarding the forgery. Burchett allegedly altered the prescription for Lorcet from 24 to 34 pills and had given herself two additional refills.

She is scheduled to be arraigned for the felony charge July 27.
