Greenville Spartanburg Asheville Anderson, SC, August 5, 2026 —
A woman in Jonesboro, Arkansas, is facing drug charges in connection with an alleged scheme to collect prescription medications by impersonating a hospital employee.
Kori Partovi was accused of going door-to-door, presenting herself as a hospital worker. She reportedly told residents she was collecting prescription drugs for a supposed drug take-back program.
The activity raised suspicion from at least one resident who recognized that Partovi’s actions did not align with standard hospital or law enforcement protocols for drug collection events. This resident subsequently contacted the police.
Authorities investigated the report and confirmed that Partovi had indeed misrepresented her identity. During the investigation, police discovered prescription medications in Partovi’s possession that belonged to another individual. The specific types and quantities of medications were not detailed.
Partovi now faces drug-related charges. The exact nature of these charges and the potential penalties were not immediately available. The Jonesboro Police Department handled the investigation. Further details regarding the timeline of events, the number of households approached, and the total amount of medication collected were not provided.
