SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A Sioux Falls woman faces fraud charges after she obtained fifteen pills of Tramadol from a drive-through pharmacy on Monday but was arrested Tuesday after trying to get more.
Officer Sam Clemens says 24-year-old Elizabeth Ann Klotzke phoned in the prescription allegedly pretending to be a nurse.
Clemens says it's routine for nurses to phone in prescriptions for patient pickup for convenience. He says Klotzke must have know how the procedure was done and was successful in obtaining Tramadol on Monday.
He says she called in the same prescription to the same pharmacist on Tuesday and that drew suspicion.
Klotzke was arrested when she tried picking up the second batch of the opioid pain medication.
