Two people were arrested in Forrest City on Friday, and both turned out to have outstanding warrants in other localities.
The second incident took place around 4 p.m. A pharmacist at Harvest Foods Pharmacy reported to police that a woman, identifying herself as Christine Oglesby, had turned in a prescription for a pain killer. The prescription showed to be from Dr. Randall Hart of Newport. The pharmacist reported he contacted Dr. Hart, and learned the prescription was a forgery.

According to the report, the pharmacist was instructed to tell the woman the prescription was ready and call police when she arrived to pick it up. After the woman received the drug, the vehicle she was driving was pointed out to officers, and she was stopped in the 900 block of North Washington.

The woman was identified as Heather Dawn Grady, 32, of Wynne. During a search of her car, officers allegedly found a hypodermic needle, several vials of prescription drugs and other items. There were also several prescription tags with the name Christina Oglesby or Jane Cole on it.

Grady was charged with five counts of possession of forged or fraudulent prescriptions or drug paraphernalia, and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. She was also wanted on outstanding warrants from Newport and Jackson County for failure to appear .
