COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINN. — Charges are pending against a Minnesota veterinary technician suspected of trying to fill bogus veterinary prescriptions for pain killers, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
The charges followed a complaint filed by Dr. Jean DeJong of All Pets Animal Hospital in Columbia Heights, after she discovered three bottles of butorphanol and hydrocodone missing from the veterinary hospital.
On March 1, a CVS Pharmacy in New Hope alerted authorities that a woman attempted to fill a prescription for 80 tablets of morphine sulfate from the same veterinary hospital.
