Fifty-nine-year-old Helen Keidel, of New Castle, faces a preliminary hearing Aug. 26 on three counts of trying to illegally obtain Adderall, a drug used to treat narcolepsy and hyperactivity at a New Castle-area pharmacy in November 2008.
Two of the prescriptions were dated after June 22, 2008, the day the doctor in question died, and third bore the name of a physician's assistant, who cannot issue prescriptions.
Police say Keidel denied forging the names, but also couldn't explain how she got prescriptions "signed" by a doctor who died months before.
Keidel doesn't have a listed phone and court records don't list a defense attorney.
