A Stoughton, Mass. man has been indicted for allegedly impersonating physicians to obtain prescription drugs illegally and selling them for profit.
Pascal Girault Jr. was indicted on 10 counts, including possession with intent to distribute a class E substance, identity fraud, Medicaid false claims and uttering false prescriptions, according to a Sept. 15 news release from the state's attorney general's office.
The office is alleging that Mr. Girault called pharmacies within Norfolk, Suffolk and Middlesex counties between September 2021 and May 2022 and posed as a physician or a member of the physician's staff using stolen physician identifications to obtain prescriptions for promethazine and promethazine with codeine before selling them on the streets.
