SECOND TIME BUSTED FOR FRAUD RX

[tramhamilton]

On August 21, 2008, I got caught buying tramadol using a fake name and fake call in RX. The agent did not arrest me he asked for my id and found out my real name, and had me write a statement about what I had done. This is my second time getting caught, the first time was March 5th, 2007. The first time I did not get caught in the act, I called the RX into the pharmacy, under my ex-husband's name who at one time did have a RX for tramadol. I went to pick up the RX and they told me I had to come back tommorrow, because they were out, they asked for a copy of my driver liscense since I was picking up for someone else, and stupid me gave it to them. As the day went on I kept thinking something was fishy, figured they were on to me and never went and picked up the RX.

The pharmacy gave my ID to the police and they called me and questioned me, I told them that my wallet along with my ID had been stolen and did not know what they were talking about. Two weeks after that phone call I was arrested at work, I lost my job of course (Osceola County Health Dept). spent one day in jail. They charged me with a felony, but dropped it to a misdemeanor. I plead guilty and received 6 months of probation, no drug testing or counseling involved and 20 hours of community service. The agent that caught me the second time has not filed any charges yet he wants me to be a Confidential Informant in other words a snitch, he says it will help me when he does file the charges, he said he has up to three years to file. Does anyone know what I should do??????????

he wasn't a "dealer" like you're thinking.  He got some stuff for a "friend"... that friend ended up being a snitch.  Hes just an addict like the rest of us and sitting in jail hasn't done him any good.

I have to agree with everyone else...take responsibility for what you have done and don't look at what appears to be an easy way out.  I have nothing but contempt to agents who worm their way into peoples lives, making them feel worse about what they have done.  They are just trying to get their hooks into you and could always hold what 'they did for you' over your head-threaten you with bustin' you back.
Stand up, take your knocks now and deal with the reality of what you did.
Ask for help with keeping off drugs and point out you are clean.
With the way jails are freeing really bad criminals, how could there be space for you?

GET A GOOD LAWYER AND TELL THE COPS TO POUND SAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beach777]

Here's what you do: If you can not afford a lawyer, call the public defender in your county and tell them EXACTLY what the cop is asking you to do. DO NOT DO IT. The cop can not guarantee you ANYTHING!!! He is lying his a** off. He has NO discretion to make you a deal. None whatsoever, it is totally up to a judge. The public defender will call the cop (who's just using you to make a name for himself and make you a rat....you DO NOT want to go to jail as a rat...trust me on that one....and there's no guarantee you won't) PLUS, Florida has been all over the news for bullying a FSU student into being a snitch on a felony pot charge and she was killed!! Your crime is viewed as SO MINOR in Florida. The worst thing they will do to you is probation. The very worst. Your crime is a third degree felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison but in the last 15 years I've never seen ANYONE go to prison for tramadol RX fake prescription. Most likely, you'll get drug court or PTI (pre-trial intervention meaning be good and we'll drop the charges). I can't guarantee you won't go to jail of course but put it this way--- I'd bet my bar license you won't. I'm that sure. Call the Public Defender. If they say they can't help you until you're charged, then shut up and wait to be arrested. Put aside about 500 bucks for bail (at most) and you'll be out of jail in less than a day. Then you will get a public defender if you do not have the money. Also, confide in somebody you trust and have them lined up to take care of your son in case you do get arrested and bring the bail money to get you out. Call the cop and tell him you are not going to be an informant and DO NOT MAKE ANY MORE STATEMENTS TO HIM WHATSOEVER.
Good luck. He's just trying to scare you and help him. He doesn't give a flying flip about you. You will be fine.

I couldnt turn people in that i knew used...i was one of them....not a brotherhood or anything but just dont seem right somehow...what we do comes back to haunt us...in this case getting others in trouble does not seem like the answer...u will be fine..u r clean and life will get better and better....dont do something that will compromise ur values and put u in places u dont need to be right now...bad places....i would take my due which i am almost positive would not be downtime as my friend was charged with this exact same thing but it was vikes...had to go to meetings and be on probation for a year...cost some money as well...but it is over and she can lay her head on her pillow and feel good about herself
