Four King County residents are accused of traveling to Pasco and hitting up pharmacies to get fraudulent prescriptions filled for pain relievers.

Angelique Christine Serino, Dana Michelle Munson, Wayne Angelo McKinley and Christopher M. Ogilvy were arrested Oct. 29 when police found them waiting inside a car at Yoke's Fresh Market while a pharmacist completed their order.

They all have pleaded innocent in Franklin County Superior Court to one count each of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, a felony.

Serino, 30, of Bellevue; Munson, 26, of Black Diamond; and Ogilvy, 32, of Kent, are all out of custody after posting bond on $15,000 bail each. Their trials are scheduled for Jan. 25.

McKinley, 32, of Black Diamond, is the only one who remains in the Franklin County jail, according to jail records.

His bail is set at $10,000.

McKinley faces a Dec. 21 trial. McKinley and Munson live at the same Black Diamond address, though their relationship is unknown.

Court documents show that Pasco officers responded to the Road 68 grocery store shortly before 10:30 a.m. Oct. 29 for reports of people at the pharmacy shopping with fake prescriptions.

Police already had two formal reports of suspicious activity in the area when they stopped by Yoke's "to notify the pharmacist to be on the lookout for anyone trying to fill oxycodone and/or methadone prescriptions," documents said.

A pharmacy assistant at Yoke's, upon hearing of the alleged scheme, said the pharmacy was in the process of filling a prescription for those narcotics and two women were waiting in the store, court documents said.

Officers actually found Munson and Serino sitting outside in a Ford Mustang with McKinley and Ogilvy.

Two pharmacy assistants reportedly identified Munson and Serino as the women who turned in the fraudulent prescriptions.

According to court documents, Munson told police that McKinley was the driver and Ogilvy provided the stolen prescription paperwork, while the two women went into each store.

Munson claimed that they drove from the west side of the state to obtain prescription drugs illegally, and that all four were aware of the plan to drive around Pasco to different pharmacies trying to get narcotics, documents said.
