Text: As stated previously, see supra note 3, the appellant prescribed Tylox in the name of Frank Gentry on November 1, November 18, November 19 and November 24, 1986. These are the subject of counts 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the indictment, respectively, which charge that the appellant feloniously obtained possession of a controlled substance by misrepresentation, fraud, deception or subterfuge, for his own use. The appellant contended at trial that Gentry obtained these Tylox prescriptions on these dates at the appellant's office during office visits. Gentry denied any knowledge of these prescriptions, denied visiting the appellant on these dates and denied receiving the Tylox under these prescriptions. The State's evidence attempting to show that the appellant picked up the Tylox under these prescriptions at the drugstores consisted of pharmacists' testimony that the appellant had, on a few unspecified occasions, picked up prescribed substances at the drugstores on behalf of unspecified patients.
