An Indiana State University nursing instructor has pleaded not guilty to charges of prescription fraud.
Amy Ann Holbert, 37, and an instructor in the department of baccalaureate nursing, made a second appearance in Vigo County Court Division 6 Monday in conjunction with prescription forgery charges. Judge Michael J. Lewis found probable cause for her arrest during a probable cause hearing on Jan. 25, and granted the prosecution 72 hours to file formal charges.
On Monday, Holbert entered an official not-guilty plea and Lewis set a pre-trial hearing date for June 21 at 2 p.m.
Holbert was arrested Jan. 24 by Terre Haute police officers at a Walgreens located at 13th Street and Wabash Avenue after the pharmacist alerted police that the prescription appeared to be suspicious.
Holbert is scheduled to appear in Vigo County Court Division 6 for a pre-trial hearing on June 21st at 2 p.m.
A jury trial is set for July 12 at 9 a.m.
