Heading: Counts 1, 3, 4, 5 & 6Felonious Obtaining

Text: Under counts 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6, each charging a felonious obtaining of a controlled substance by the appellant by misrepresentation, fraud, deception or subterfuge, the State's theory was that the appellant on these occasions wrote Tylox prescriptions in the names of Messrs. Jones and Gentry, picked up the Tylox at the drugstores himself, ostensibly on behalf of these patients, but appropriated the Tylox to his own use. Count 1 involved a prescription ostensibly for Roger Jones on December 14, 1986. Counts 3, 4, 5 and 6 involved prescriptions ostensibly for Frank Gentry on November 1, 18, 19 and 24, 1986, respectively. The evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the State, discloses the following.
