A Glasgow woman has been charged with 10 counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, according to a release from the Bowling Green-Warren County Drug Task Force.
The charges were in a sealed indictment returned by the Warren County grand jury after evidence on the case was presented to the grand jury on June 27 by Sgt. Tod Young of the local drug task force.
Charged is Georgina Payne, 194 Carden Road, Glasgow. Payne posted $5,000 bond and was released Tuesday from Warren County Regional Jail. She has a July 23 hearing in Warren County Circuit Court, online jail records show.

Young presented information to the grand jury of a former nursing assistant who worked in a private physician practice in Bowling Green, the release said. The woman had been calling prescriptions for controlled substances into pharmacies on the physician’s behalf without his knowledge or approval, the release said. The offenses occurred from November 2011 through April, the release said.
The local investigation was sparked by a probe made by the 15th Judicial Drug Task Force in Hartsville, Tenn.
The Barren-Edmonson County Drug Task Force found Payne at her Barren County home and took her to the Warren County jail, the release said.
Tommy Loving, director of the local drug task force, said investigators were able to pinpoint 10 different offenses locally and hydrocodone was one of the drugs procured.
