A Madison woman was arrested on a Floyd County warrant charging her with using forged prescriptions to purchase a controlled substance. A detective from the Indiana State Police Prescription Drug Diversion Section served a warrant Monday on 50-year-old Linda Carol Kendall, of Hanover.
An investigation began after a theft of controlled substance prescriptions from a medical facility in Jefferson County some time after January 2009, according to a news release from Indiana State Police.
