Jeb Bush's daughter had a friend, disguised as a doctor, call in a prescrpition for Xanax. Noelle, the daughter, went to the pharmacy pick-up window to get her prescription. The police nabbed her.
Why?
The "doctor" that called the order in was in reality dead, thereby making it very difficult for him to prescribe drugs.

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (CNN) -- The daughter of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was arrested early Tuesday after she allegedly tried to fill a false prescription at a pharmacy, Tallahassee, Florida, police said.
Noelle Bush was picked up by police at a Walgreens store and charged with fraudulently obtaining a controlled substance, a jail spokesman said. Police said she was attempting to obtain Xanax, which is used to treat anxiety disorder. The drug can make users feel drowsy and dizzy as it reduces nervousness and tension.
Bush, 24, was released pending a court appearance. It was not immediately known if she had to post bail.
Bush and his wife released a statement on the incident.
"Columba and I are deeply saddened over an incident that occurred last night involving our daughter Noelle," the statement said.
"This is a very serious problem. Unfortunately, substance abuse is an issue confronting many families across our nation. We ask the public and the media to respect our family's privacy during this difficult time so that we can help our daughter. We will have no further comment on this issue. Thank you for your understanding."
Noelle is Jeb and Columba Bush's only daughter. They have two sons, George and Jeb Jr.
