'Operation Cracked Scripts' Broken Up

HARRISBURG — Eighteen suspects, who allegedly participated in a prescription forgery ring that operated throughout southwestern Pennsylvania, were charged today by the Attorney General’s Office and Pennsylvania State Police.

Attorney General Tom Corbett said the 10-month joint investigation, known as “Operation Cracked Scripts” focused on Barbara Dodson, a Washington County woman who was the ring leader of the half million dollar ring.

Corbett said that Dodson and at least 17 co-conspirators obtained thousands of Oxycodone pills, using forged prescriptions, from at least 17 pharmacies in Fayette, Westmoreland, Allegheny, and Washington counties.

“We believe this organization was responsible for illegally obtaining approximately 250,000 milligrams of Oxycodone with an estimated street-value of more than $500,000,” Corbett said.

The grand jury identified the following suspects as members of Dodson’s organization: Marcie Neal; Michael Waddell; Ashley Furlong; Alexander Storez; Alyssa Luckasevic; Michelle Anton; Alicia Norkus; Cassie Thorpe; Lee Rotolo; Karen Butcher; Jessie Snyder; Christopher Bujanowski; Randal Carlson; and Diane Furlong.
