Oregon school psychologist arrested for ID theft

As seen here:

The Winston-Dillard School District has notified parents that an employee arrested on suspicion of identity theft and illegal possession of prescribed drugs has been placed on administrative leave and will not have access to confidential information while police are investigating.

The alleged crimes were not connected with the school. The district learned of the arrest after reading The News-Review's police log Nov. 13, Superintendent Duane Yecha said.

School psychologist Emily Lewis, 27, was arrested on suspicion of identity theft, a felony, and possession of illegal prescription drugs, which could be a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the drug, Roseburg Police Sgt. Aaron Dunbar said.

"Apparently she has an addiction to prescription pain killers," Dunbar said.

Lewis allegedly visited multiple urgent care centers, giving false names and dates of birth to get pain killers. A nurse at one of the centers recognized her and checked an earlier record, which had a photocopy of Lewis' driver's license, Dunbar said.

Police gave the school district a list of names Lewis allegedly used, and the investigation is continuing, Dunbar said.
