9/5/2014, Prescription overdoses drop in GBI study
In 2013, the GBI found 461 drug overdose deaths were caused by prescription medication, compared with 520 in 2012, 512 in 2011, 560 in 2010, 508 in 2009 and 496 in 2008…
PDMPs appear to be a very expensive way to only slightly reduce the number of drug poisonings.
Of the 461 prescription overdoses in Georgia, alprazolam (for anxiety, Xanax) was responsible for 211 deaths. In addition to alprazolam, three other medications resulted in more than 100 deaths in 2013: Oxycodone 164, hydrocodone 125 and methadone 118…
“Alcohol is a huge contributor to this type of death,” he said. “More times than not, we’ll find a mixture of prescription medication and alcohol.”

12/9/2014, Drug overdose leads to murder arrest
During the investigation, it was determined Rebecca Ipock Nanney unlawfully distributed her personal medication of Fentanyl and Oxycodone to Harris. The autopsy and toxicology report concluded the ingestion of such substances caused his death.
Nanney, 57, of Stokes Road in Greenville was arrested Tuesday at 11:20 a.m. at her home. She is charged with Second Degree Murder – Distribution of drugs – Class B2. Nanney does have a history of trafficking opium or heroin. She is being held under a $1,000,000 bond.
If this person has a history of trafficking opium or heroin, why not tell us what it is? No, this lady gave (or sold) some of her medication to a friend, and now she’s charged with murder.
