Noah Manskar

A Westbury woman who worked for a Mineola doctor was arraigned last Friday for allegedly forging 10 Percocet prescriptions.

Police arrested Rosa Bonilla, 35, at her home April 7 and charged her with 10 counts of felony second-degree forgery, police said.

Bonilla gave the forged prescriptions for a total of 900 pills of Percocet, a narcotic painkiller containing a combination of paracetamol and the opioid oxycodone, between December 2015 and this March, police said.

Each falsified script was for 90 pills each, police said.

Police declined to identify the Mineola doctor’s office where Bonilla worked.

Bonilla is due back in court April 15.
