San Luis Obispo, California, the happiest place in America, has at least one unhappy resident this morning, but don’t blame us. This may be our hometown, but IHateTheMedia.com had nothing to do with it.
Ohio.com explains the story:
A California woman facing nearly five years in prison for forging drug prescriptions showed up for sentencing with a phony doctor’s note seeking a delay in the proceedings.
Michelle Elaine Astumian was free on $45,000 bail and pleaded no contest in January to felony counts of forgery and using a fraudulent check.
The 41-year-old woman arrived Monday for sentencing in a San Luis Obispo County courtroom and presented a note with a doctor’s signature asking for a postponement.
Prosecutor Dave Pomeroy called the doctor, who said the note is a forgery.
The judge immediately ordered Astumian into custody and she collapsed to the floor. An ambulance took her to a hospital.
Five years in prison for forging a doctor’s note? Hell, under ObamaCare she’ll have to wait that long just to see a doctor.
