Lufkin TX dental employee Heather Terry pleads guilty to 3 counts of prescription fraud; also stole office's gold with co-worker

Heather Terry, a former dental employee in Lufkin, Texas (TX), pleaded guilty in Angelina County District Court to three counts of prescription fraud for forging prescriptions for Hydrocodone, with a pending state-jail felony addressed as part of the plea arrangement. Prescription drug fraud originating from dental offices continues to be a significant enforcement priority for Texas authorities, and dental practices that fail to secure prescription pads and monitoring systems face both criminal and professional liability.
