Welcome to the forum........
One thing I agree with is the police will come and your charge will be
To obtain a controlled substance by fraud......
Liz Lou is right if you do have a clean record you will be fine and probably probation.......
If you have some baggage you could be in trouble.........
I would talk to the police but not answer any questions pertaining to the case...
You can find out if there is a warrent and then tell him that you will turn yourself in that will make a load of difference at your arraignment as far as bond.....
The very sad thing in your post to me is your kids look what they have had to go through......
Going to a rehab for your drug problem is commendable but as an addict could it be just sugar coating for the judge..........
You speak of honesty with your family you need to stop running from the police and start standing up for your past indiscretions.......you can't afford a lawyer then the judge will grant you one........
Before you sitting in jail with no options take care of the kids and make sure there safe and take care of your legal matters......while you can.....
Did you write the scripts before rehab? or after? The law that is in question is if you "knowingly" of "sound" mind attempted to defraud. If by chance you were "high" when you wrote them then you did not "knowingly" of "sound" mind commit such crime. Talk to the police, get this out of the way so that you can concentrate on recovery.
good luck

It all depends on what state you live in and what county. The government has come to realize that just because you have a problem with drugs doesn't mean you are a bad person. But, what they want to see is that you are ready and willing to change. You probably make too much for a public defender (you have to be poor, and I mean poor). If you are honest to the judge and district attorney they will help you. This is only good if you have not had any other drug related legal problems in your past.
And, yes you can call the PD and talk to someone. They can not force you to tell them where you are. They can not reach through the phone and get you. But, you do have to start showing everyone that you are willing to resolve this matter and cooperate. I know it's hard but the best thing is to tell the truth. Remember the legal system (police/district attorney/judge) are all human, they want to here the truth. Think how you feel when someone lies to your face.
You can get through this thing. It is hell and I am going through the w/d's with you. I am 5th day off Ultram. Hurts, but every day is better. The people on here are great! Reach out to others when you need strength. We can't always walk alone.
Good luck.
Wow,,,,,,,,,
What planet do you live in?
If she calls she will be tracked by satellite and if she uses a cell it does not matter if she hangs her phone up once connection is made satellite tracking will find her......
Truth I agree is the best policy except when talking to police or a prosecutor do you know that they are allowed by law to lie to a person to get a conviction.......
In the state of Michigan and Ohio they are coming down very hard on drug offenders and fraud to obtain drugs.....
If she is a first time offender it is very possible to get off with probation and some drug counseling.......
But if you don't think that the hammer can come down on her if she has a record your living in another world........
WOW....that was RUDE. This person was just trying to help and give the best advice he/she could give and you basically call him stupid.
What planet do you live on beachtowel? Because wherever it is, human kindness must be a crime.
Damn. That was really mean what you said to here4all.
