An officer with the Round Rock Police Department is on administrative leave after being arrested and charged with obtaining prescription medication through fraud.
Donald D'Amour, who has been with the Round Rock police for four years, surrendered to Travis County authorities Monday night after a judge issued warrants for his arrest, according to Round Rock police spokesman Eric Poteet.
Pflugerville police charged D'Amour with obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, a third-degree felony, according to arrest warrants filed Tuesday.
Round Rock Police Chief Bryan Williams placed D'Amour, 32, on administrative leave Nov. 23 after Pflugerville police notified him that D'Amour was being investigated for fraudulently placing and picking up two prescriptions for hydrocodone, a painkiller, according to the arrest warrants.
A pharmacist at an H-E-B pharmacy notified Pflugerville police after she became suspicious of a call to fill a prescription Nov. 20, the arrest warrants said. The person asked for hydrocodone through a doctor at a pain care facility where he was not a patient, the warrants said. Pflugerville police recovered videos shot at separate H-E-B pharmacies in Pflugerville on Nov. 7 and Nov. 8 showing him picking up the narcotic with fraudulent prescriptions, the warrants said.
