MAN CHARGED WITH DOCTOR SHOPPING

By Jon Mayhew

LINCOLNTON
-- An Iron Station man is arrested at a Lincolnton pharmacy, charged with doctors shopping by Lincolnton Police.

Ricky Lee Miller II, 26, of Lambs Way, was arrested at The Drug Store on Generals Boulevard Friday around 5:45 p.m. by officer D. Mocanu.

In Mocanu's arrest repot, Miller was charged with three felony counts of doctor shopping as well as a count of possession of marijauna and a count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

More than 100 tablets of various medications were seized during the arrest. Mocanu said Miller had obtained several prescriptions from multiple doctors and had them filled within a 15-day period.

Being assisted by officer T. Potts, Mocanu took Miller to the Harven A. Crouse Detention Center under a $62,000 bond. A probable cause hearing was set for Monday in Lincolnton district court.

The investigation is continuing and more charges against Miller are expected.
