**ARRESTS**

Narcotics Investigation – On October 7th, detectives from the Prince William-Manassas-Manassas Park Narcotics Task Force concluded a narcotics investigation involving the distribution of prescription pain medications with the execution of arrest warrants at the Excel Medical Clinic located at 14904 Jefferson Davis Hwy, #205 in Woodbridge (22191). The investigation revealed that the unlicensed physician at the practice, identified as Shrihash POLE, and a nurse practitioner, identified as Janelle HIBSON, were writing and then selling prescriptions for pain medications without properly performing the necessary exams. This investigation was initiated by the regional task force in October of 2014 after it was discovered that unusually large amount of pain medications were being prescribed. Following the investigation, both targets were arrested without incident on October 7th. The Prince William County Police Department is committed to providing educational assistance on current trends with pill diversion to the prescribers of these medications. Any prescriber wishing to speak to a detective is asked to call 703-686-6522. Our goal through this educational assistance is to have prescribers gain a better understanding of the behavior of addicts, learn more about the relationship between prescription pills and the current heroin epidemic, and further discuss the utilization of systems currently in place such as the prescription monitoring program. 
Arrested on October 7th:
Shriharsh POLE, 61, of 3001 Rose Creek Ct in Oakton
Janelle Annette HIBSON, 60, of 28 South Pointe Ln in Fredericksburg
