My ex wife is badly addicted pain killer. She worked at a doctors office and would only give me my daughter in exchange for filling a script. I did and gave her her drugs and took my daughter unfortunately i had to return and was put in the position again this time i made her put one in my fiance name and left with my daughter and kept the scripts as proof she was blackmailing me she was arrested the other day and now i was informed a warrant for my arrest will be issued. What will happen to me? I have proof and a witness to this.

You also committed a crime. Get an attorney.
 
Speak with an attorney.

You have committed a couple of felonies, if you've done what you described.

Get a statement from your witness, and let your attorney determine if it helps or hurts your position.
 
Good grief - why didn't you just use the court system to obtain visitation?!

You've seriously screwed yourself.

Do what the others suggested.

And speak to NOBODY else.
 
we've been apart almost two yrs. and i just returned to Florida to file the divorce papers and such in the mean time i had to deal with her any way to get my daughter. When i was put in the position again i let her put the scripts in my witness name and this time left with my daughter and of course didn't fill them and have them as proof of the the situation. I have a consultation tomorrow does anyone know what type of charges i might be facing? Also they're are multiple people(friends) of hers she had this going on with couldn't i use info i have about it and of course the scripts i kept as proof of blackmail? having some thought as to what kind of charges i'm looking at would be some relief to sleep tonight.

You might not be charged.

It all depends on what you admit to and say.

You could probably be charged with any of the following FELONIES:

FSS 893.13(7a9) PRESCRIPTION FRAUD - It is unlawful to acquire or obtain or attempt to acquire or obtain possession of a controlled substance by misrepresentation, fraud, forgery, subterfuge, or deception (3rd Deg. Fel).

FSS 893.13(7a7) DOCTOR SHOPPING - It is unlawful to withhold information from a practitioner from whom the person seeks to obtain a controlled substance or prescription for a controlled substance that the person has received a controlled substance or a prescription for a controlled substance of like therapeutic use from another practitioner within the last 30 days (1st Deg. Misd, 2nd offense - 3rd Deg. Fel).

FSS 499.03(1) UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF CONTROLLED MEDICATION - A person may not possess, or possess with intent to sell, dispense, or deliver, any habit-forming, toxic, harmful, or new drug or legend drug unless the possession of the drug has been obtained by a valid prescription of a practitioner licensed by law to prescribe the drug.

FSS 893.135(1c1) TRAFFICKING (Paraphrased) - Except as authorized in this chapter or in chapter 499 and not withstanding the provisions of FSS 893.13, any person who knowingly sells, purchases, manufactures, delivers, or brings into this state, or who is knowingly in actual or constructive possession of 4 grams or more of any morphine, opium, oxycodone (percodan or percocet), hydrocodone (lortab, lorcet, vicodin, etc.), hydromorphone (dilaudid) or any salt, derivative, isomer, or salt of an isomer thereof, including heroin, as described in FSS 893.03 or 4 grams or more of any mixture containing any such substance but less than---see guidelines---commits a felony of the 1st degree, which felony shall be known as "Trafficking In Illegal Drugs."

Our clients arrested for prescription fraud in the St. Petersburg and Clearwater area come from a wide background of ethnic, social, educational, and economic backgrounds. Many who became addicted to street drugs later discovered prescription medications as an alternative source to meet their addiction needs. A very large number of our clients became addicted to a drug that they had first legally secured for a legitimate medical purpose. Thereafter, they attempted to secure the same drug through illegal means. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported that women may be more likely to commit prescription fraud as they are 48% more likely to be legally prescribed an abusable (i.e. narcotic or anti-anxiety) drug by their doctor. Other research has shown that when it comes to a sedative, anti-anxiety drug, or hypnotic, women are nearly twice as likely to become addicted. This research is consistent with the type of clients who visit our office in that many clients facing a prescription fraud prosecution in Pinellas County are middle-class women, who have become addicted after being prescribed a pain reliever.

Healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, and hospital employees are the category of persons most likely to commit this offense. These people have an insider's understanding of the prescription writing and filling process. They are often in a unique position to acquire and abuse prescription drugs. Although we see a large number of clients in these occupations, it is not uncommon for us to help both young people, as well as the elderly.

In January of 2002, the media reported that Florida Governor Jeb Bush's own daughter, had been arrested for prescription fraud. Noelle Bush (24 years of age) had attempted to pick up Xanax from a Walgreens pharmacy after phoning in a fraudulent prescription. Talk show host Rush Limbaugh likewise shocked listeners after his admission to having an addiction to pain killers. The controversy over his alleged doctor-shopping and thus illegal securing of prescription medication fueled interest by the public. Both cases have contributed to bringing prescription fraud to the lime light of law enforcement investigations.
