ANN ARBOR, MI – A Washtenaw County woman has pleaded no contest to writing prescriptions for ADHD and anxiety medications using the identities of two doctors.
Julie A. Kelley, 40, of Northfield Township was charged in March with two counts of identity theft, two counts of controlled substance obtained by fraud and counterfeit prescription fraud of a controlled substance, according to Washtenaw County Trial Court records.
She pleaded no contest on June 14 to identity theft and counterfeit prescription fraud of a controlled substance.
Court records indicate Kelley used personal identifying information from two Ann Arbor-area physicians to write prescriptions for herself and three others for the drugs Adderall and Klonopin.
Adderall is used to treat narcolepsy and ADHD and Klonopin treats seizures, panic disorder and anxiety.
Identity theft is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, and counterfeit prescription fraud of a controlled substance is a felony carrying a punishment of up to four years in prison.
Her sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 2.
