GoogleMarty Scott Hobbs, 34, of Fayetteville, was arrested after he allegedly yelled, "The cops are here, the cops are here," to a woman who accompanied him to Kroger, North Main Street, and attempted to leave the building, according to police.
The store's pharmacy received a phone call from an individual who was attempting to purchase Lortabs and Neurontin with a prescription, supposedly from a Tullahoma doctor, officers were told.
A pharmacist felt suspicious and had an assistant call the doctor, who told police no prescription had been issued for the name the store was given, police said. A short time later, the pharmacy received a call from a woman who said she had been given an incorrect name by the doctor's office and that she was on her way to pick up the prescription, according to police.
When the suspect and woman arrived Hobbs allegedly watched from near the checkout area while the woman, who is not listed as charged, attempted to pick up the prescription, officers noted.
Police said they detained Hobbs, cutting through a checkout line to reach him, after he allegedly yelled to the woman.
Hobbs was charged with forgery and, after allegedly attempting to hide hydrocodone tablets upon reaching police headquarters, with possession of a schedule III drug. He is being held on $4,000 bond at Bedford County Jail.

Hyrdocodone is the newest crack...
I know I'm a square and not up with the times...but I have had that crap after a couple of surgeries..and the biggest effect I felt from it was that I felt like I could feel the blood rushing over my knees!!! Not something I want to do often!!haha
As I understand it,the body doesn't get as many "recreational" effects if it *needs* the medicine for pain control.
It uses too much of the active substance for what is necessary to have much left to give a high or cause addiction.
As time goes by,it can even take more and more medicine to do its intended job.
One reason these drugs are controlled is that they can be as tricky to manage as they are helpful-even under the best of circumstances.
Trained professionals can accommodate an individual's body chemistry so they receive the maximum benefit with the least risk.
They know a lot about how to minimize pain without triggering dependency,suppressing vital functions,etc.
(Even then,they must supervise closely to deal with side effects as they occur.)
Anyone using these products improperly is just asking for permanent nerve damage and who-knows-what-else.
There are few highs worth ruining your health,your mind and the safety of others.
I'm concerned that people haven't grasped that books can expand the mind,love can make us feel good,art can stimulate our senses and the support and counsel of wise and caring people can be anodynes for a soul that's hurting.
We have people unable or unwilling to get the right drugs used in the right way at the right times yet we have people who *don't* need these meds to heal or be comfortable taking them at will.
Think about it.
Anything strong enough to do good can do harm if missapplied.
If you have a *need* for a drug,go through proper channels and don't let up until you get relief.
(There may even be a different,less hazardous solution available.)
If you *want* it due to a physical or psychological addiction,insist on the help you need to get your freedom back.
If we can't handle day-to-day living or party without artificial stimulation,disguising reality or numbing ourselves to oblivion,adding the damage controlled substances can do isn't going to help.
There's no shame in getting meds to help us be more ourselves,more functional and lead longer,healthier lives.
Why lie or hide unless we know we're corrupting these substances into a means of destroying ourselves?
What can we do to make our lives worth preserving instead of working to trash what we've got?
Creamed corn now that is Great!!
Why wasn't the female arrested also? She was just as involved as he was by trying to pick up the prescription?
Sadly, pain killers are highly addictive. After using them for sometimes even a short period of time, the body starts to "need" them even when the pain has subsided. Users have to keep taking them to feel normal. The body will go through withdrawals from pain medications just as someone who uses cocaine or some other street drug does. Often the person that gets addicted assumes because a doctor has prescribed the pills, all is well and they have nothing to worry about. There have been several fine individuals to unknowingly get addicted. If you recall a noted police officer we had here years ago, got addicted to them after a back injury. Life went down hill fast and to this day, I don't think he's kicked his problem as he is still getting into trouble in other counties and states. Anyone who has to take pain killers. PLEASE be careful with them. Take as few as you can get by with and look for alternative means of pain relief if possible.
