Valle, sounds like a very, very similar situation that I heard about with one of my neighbors. He was doing this in 3 states, and it finally caught up with him.

He got 2 years prison time and 9 months mandatory rehab after the prison time. He still hasn't changed, is still addicted and it makes me very nervous knowing that he lives only a few blocks from me in this rural area.

Whenever I leave my home or have to go out of town now, I am forced to "hide" all of my medications or take them all with me. This is a small town, and everybody knows everybody's business, and this guy is really giving me the creeps because I've been told he will do anything to get his drugs.

And one more thing, it is people who try to pull scams such as these, that have made it really hard for legitimate pain sufferer's to get the proper medication and are basically put under a microscope before we can get the help that we really need.
