Kristina Marie Flatow, 21, Waterford, was charged Tuesday with two
counts of distribution of a false controlled substance as a habitual
offender. If convicted, she could face up to $20,000 in fines, 10
years in prison and at least a year-long driver's license revocation.
According to court records, an undercover agent paid Flatow $260 for
13 Oxycontin tablets on Sept. 14, 2005. The agent noticed the covering
on the off-white tablets had been removed; Flatow allegedly said it
was to make it harder for police to identify them. Flatow then gave
the agent her number and said they could contact her if they wanted
more Oxycontin.
A week later the agent again contacted Flatow, asking for 30 tablets
for $525. Flatow had 28 white and orange tablets, also with the
coating removed. They agreed on a price of $500. The agent talked to
Flatow about getting tablets with the coating still intact, and Flatow
said she would attempt to comply with his request.
The Sheriff's Department had the tablets Flatow sold analyzed and
found they were psychiatric medications used to treat psychotic
disorders. The medication is only available with a prescription, but
is not a controlled substance. The drug has several possible side
effects, some serious, investigators said.
