St. Mary’s narcotics detectives report that a prescription fraud investigation, leading to the arrest last month of a man identified in court papers as a flight test engineer at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, determined that the drug purchase was submitted for payment through a military medical benefit program.

Andrew Tkaczuk, 27, of Tall Timbers was released on personal recognizance and faces trial next February on charges including attempting to obtain oxycodone on Nov. 14 at a Hollywood pharmacy with a woman’s identification information, and obtaining her identification information with fraudulent intent.
The pharmacy’s employees notified the woman and police, and the law officers were at the business when the suspect returned there and picked up the oxycodone pills, according to charging papers stating he was taken into custody without incident.
Narcotics investigators reported Friday that they determined the woman, who lives in Virginia, was a victim of identity theft, and that the prescription claim by the suspect was submitted to the federal government for payment through the benefit program. Federal officers took part in a raid at the suspect’s home, detectives report, where a computer and hard drives were seized.
