Mother sentenced 10 months for pain killers

The USA Today is reporting that a woman of St. Paris, Teresa Milbrandt, was sentenced to 10 months in prison for using her daughter to write a prescription for her. She claimed that she was injured at work and needed pain killers. She previously made the news for falsely claiming that one of her daughters had cancer, so that she could collect donations.

For the false prescription, she was convicted of felony deception. That crime is defined in Ohio Revenue Code, sec. 2925.22. The article did not mention whether she also had her driver's license suspended pursuant to subsection C of that statute. Presumably, her license will be suspended for at least 6 months, but no longer than 5 years.
