Robert McDaniel, police say, had picked up several prescriptions for painkillers over the past two months. According to police, the prescriptions were made out to different names, but all stemmed from one dentist office.
On Monday, McDaniel went to pick up a prescription at the Rite Aid Pharmacy on Creston Road.
“The pharmacist inquired with the prescribing dentist office, but each time the receptionist gave an excuse why the dentist could not speak on the phone,” police stated on a Facebook post. “The pharmacist then refused to fill any more prescriptions until she spoke directly with the dentist.”
McDaniel’s wife, Anacristina McDaniel was an employee of the dentist office. Police said unbeknownst to the dentist, Anacristina McDaniel had stolen numerous prescription pads and submitted prescriptions to several pharmacies in Paso Robles and Atascadero.
