Tracy Nicole Leaks of West Palm Beach, Florida was arrested Wednesday after she was accused of using a doctor's name on prescription cards without authorization, news sources say. Leaks, 32, was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of fraudulent use of a personal identification and trafficking hydrocodone. It is unclear whether she has qualified for bail bond or if she has hired an attorney.
Police first learned of Nicole's allegedly illicit activities in November 2012, when Dr. Charles Allan Gard contacted police to report that Leaks had been using his name to fill out fraudulent prescription cards. According to the doctor's complaint, he had not seen Leaks since 2011 and did not authorize any of the prescriptions that the woman purportedly picked up.
Detectives attained Leaks's medication profile from the Florida Prescription Monitoring Program, a program meant to aid in the prevention of prescription drug fraud. Investigators reportedly found that Leak had attained 22 prescriptions using the doctor's name. Reports say five of the prescriptions were for carisoprodol and another 17 were for hydrocone.
According to reports, Leaks picked up the allegedly fraudulent prescriptions from pharmacies at stores such as Wal-Mart, Kmart, CVS, Publix, and Winn-Dixie. Officers investigating the alleged fraud then visited a Kmart in Lake Park where Leaks reportedly picked up some of the prescriptions. The officers interviewed a pharmacist who said she remembered Leaks picking up medications during an earlier visit, sources say. The store's security department provided the officers with surveillance footage taken during one of those alleged visits.
The detectives also visited another pharmacy inside of a West Palm Beach Wal-Mart that Leaks had reportedly frequented. A pharmacist purportedly told officers that she recalled the defendant visiting the store to pick up those prescriptions.
In other drug-related news, police in Ponte Vedra Beach announced the arrest of two individuals following the discovery of a meth lab inside of a hotel, news reports say. The two suspects were not identified publicly. They were booked into police custody on unspecified charges. It is not yet known whether the defendants have qualified for bail or hired legal representation.
