A Greensburg woman is prohibited from holding duties as a certified registered nurse practitioner while she serves three years on probation for writing fraudulent prescriptions for thousands of pills.
Judge Christopher Feliciani ordered that Kari A. Halaut, 55, continue with drug and alcohol treatment during the probationary period. Halaut pleaded no contest Wednesday to identity theft charges and Pharmacy Act violations.
She was arrested last year by the state attorney general’s office on accusations that she used prescription pads from a former employer and wrote prescriptions while working at other medical facilities without legal authority to do so, according to court papers.
