There were three people from New London County suspected of perscription fraud. Two of them are residents of North Stonington and one is a resident of Niantic. These arrests were a part of a crackdown by various police agencies against illegal use of prescription drugs, which has accused almost 50 people, even law enforcement officials, of bringing thousands of oxycodone illegally into the state from Florida.
Two of the three people, Linda McDougal and Susan Turitto, allegedly obtained the pills by using the licensing information of a New London surgeon, albeit during different periods of time. The alleged recipients of the pills were Turitto and her husband Craig Levine. Law enforcement was tipped off by a Waterford pharmacist who received a fake prescription for 60 vicodin pills. They were arraigned in the U.S. District Court in Hartford last Thursday.
