Woman’s painkiller fraud could lead to painful sentence

YORK, Neb. (AP) – A 38-year-old York woman has been arrested, accused of fraud in obtaining a prescription painkiller. Jeannie Linder has been charged with intentional violation of a narcotic drug law. That’s a felony that carries a maximum prison sentence of five years. York police investigators say that among other ruses, Linder altered a prescription form so that she could use it at different pharmacies. Linder is due back in court on Monday. Her attorney didn’t immediately return a call Friday from The Associated Press.
