BELCHERTOWN - A woman and her daughter deny using a computer to create false painkiller prescriptions, then passing them fraudulently at a Hadley supermarket over the last two years.
In Eastern Hampshire District Court Friday, Heather A. Lord, 38, and her mother, Rosemary V. Lord, 65, of 137 Glendale Road, each pleaded innocent to 36 counts of uttering a false prescription and 36 counts of obtaining a drug by fraud.
According to a report filed by a South Hadley police detective, Rosemary Lord earlier admitted to using her computer to create 36 false prescriptions for oxycodone and OxyContin and having her daughter pass them at the pharmacy within the Big Y Supermarket on Russell Street in Hadley.
The prescriptions were reportedly filled between August 2008 and January 2010.
Judge John Payne Jr. ordered both women released on their own recognizance and scheduled a pretrial hearing April 13.
