Woman Charged With 6 Prescription Pill Offenses

Unless otherwise noted, information about the following incidents was supplied by the South Kingstown Police Department. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.

Christen M. Conley, 38, of 7 Shagbark Road, Narragansett, was arrested at about 4:22 p.m. on Sept. 4 and charged with six felony counts of false representation to obtain a controlled substance.

According to police, Conley worked as a secretary for a nurse practitioner, and in her job duties, had forged prescriptions for a family member for Soma, Vicodin and other painkillers.

Police said that when questioned about the prescriptions, Conley admitted to filing them with CVS, using the nurse practitioner’s number. The medication was used by Conley, she told police, not the family member.

Conley was arraigned at police headquarters and then released at about 4:52 p.m. She is scheduled to appear in Fourth Division District Court on Sept. 13.
