Beatrice Woman Charged with Theft, Drug Crimes

beatrice-police(AP) — A 22-year-old Beatrice woman has been accused of stealing prescription drugs that she picked up at a pharmacy for an acquaintance.

Authorities say Anika Pfannenstiel was arrested Sunday.

Gage County Court documents say Pfannenstiel was asked by Jason Young to go to the pharmacy and pick up his prescription for a narcotic pain reliever, Vicodin. She did so, but Young later told officers that she never turned over the 60 pills to him.

Officers say she had the pill bottle in her purse when she let them search her purse. Officers also she had other drugs in her purse.

A phone listed for Pfannenstiel is no longer in service. Online court records don’t list the name of her attorney in the case.
