Police Log: Hit & Run, DUI and a Stolen Ambulance

January 29 – Narcotics Sale – Morphine, Heroin, Codeine

• CVS – 670 Welsh Rd.

Wade Collins, 34, of Philadelphia, and Corey Hill, 40, of Philadelphia, were arrested after posing as a doctor to call in prescriptions to CVS for Phenergan with Codeine, a DEA Schedule V Controlled Substance, and another antibiotic.

The pharmacist, Stefan Mishchuk, told police he received the prescription order from a person named Joseph Walker, and it was very similar to previous prescription requests, usually called in on Sunday’s. Because of his suspicions, he called the on-call doctor who the prescription was from to see if these prescriptions were valid, which they were not.

Police coordinated with the pharmacist to sell the prescriptions to the subjects. Once the two males arrived at CVS and once prescription was filled, police apprehended them. Hilton had several pieces of paper which had the name “Joseph Walker” and “Brenda Powell” on them.

January 29 – Hit & Run

• 3000 block of Pine Rd.

Leonid Flaksman, 38, of Huntingdon Valley, reported that he was struck by a car while walking northbound on Pine Rd. According to reports, an unknown truck made contact with Flaksman’s upper left body causing him to fall to the ground. Even though he couldn’t identify what kind of car it was, the passenger side mirror housing broke off from the accident and police have identified it as coming from a 2002 Dodge 1500 truck.

Flaksman reported injuries to his left arm and ribs although he declined medical treatment.
