The Prince William County Police Department is committed to providing educational assistance on current trends with pill diversion to the prescribers of these medications. Any prescriber wishing to speak to a detective is asked to call 703-686-6522. Our goal through this educational assistance is to have prescribers gain a better understanding of the behavior of addicts, learn more about the relationship between prescription pills and the current heroin epidemic, and further discuss the utilization of systems currently in place such as the prescription monitoring program.
Shriharsh Pole, 61, of Rose Creek Court in Oakton, and Janelle Annette Hibson, 60, of South Pointe Lane in southern Stafford County each face seven counts of distribution of a schedule I or I narcotic, according to police.
