A woman purchased prescription opiate pills at different Mooresville pharmacies by forging her prescriptions, according to the Mooresville Police Department.

Precias Kajuanna Freeman, 34, of Cleveland, is accused of obtaining Norco, a brand of hydrocodone, in two separate cases in July 2016, according to MPD Maj. Gerald Childress. She attempted to obtain the substance once more that month, but failed to do so, according to reports.

Childress said narcotics investigators determined the prescriptions were forgeries in each case. Police would not release the names of the pharmacies involved to preserve cooperation between the businesses and law enforcement.

The total weight of the pills was more than 28 grams, Childress said.

In September, MPD issued warrants to arrest Freeman for two counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and forgery, one count of attempted obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and forgery and two counts of trafficking in opium, a schedule III controlled substance. All are felonies.

On Tuesday, Freeman was served the warrants by an Iredell deputy. She was given a $400,000 secured bond, which was later reduced to $100,000.
