According to deputies, the 34-year-old pharmacy tech started filling fake prescriptions for Lortab/Hydrocodone in July 2007. They were supposedly going to nursing home patients.

But last month, someone at Pharmerica's regional billing noticed something wasn't quite right. They contacted the store's general manager who then asked Beaty for a copy of the paperwork from the nursing home requesting the prescription be filled. When Beaty couldn't come up with it, the general manager starting digging.

The GM discovered a large amount of prescriptions filled for patients that had been discharged from nursing homes. Beaty was the only common link.

Deputies say Beaty confessed to stealing the medication. Her attorney is making arrangements for Beaty to turn herself in.
