Bureau spokesman Mark Woodward says there's no evidence any residents were deprived of their medications — only that the prescriptions called in were fraudulent.
Woodward says the drugs were later sold on the street.
The charges filed by Murray County prosecutors include conspiracy to obtain controlled substances by fraud and Medicaid fraud.
