Oxford County may be ahead of most communities when it comes to battling oxy abuse. That's the opinion of OPP Constable Michelle Murphy, member of the Oxford County Drug Task Force. Murphy says local physicians are now engaged in trying to stem the trafficking of painkillers like oxycontin. She says those doctors can help prevent abusers and traffickers from "double doctoring". "We do have doctors that sit on the Drug Task Force, and we've done presentations to the doctors in Oxford County, so they are aware. They know about the problems within the community. Double doctoring is a big problem across North America because we do have such serious issues with prescription painkiller abuse and addiction." A Tillsonburg man was charged with 16-counts of double doctoring this week, for allegedly visiting multiple doctors to fill out multiple prescriptions. More charges in future cases could help reduce the number of pills being sold out on the street. Murphy says they need tips from the public to advance these cases. "We need people to be aware and make those reports." Tips can be called anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1800-222-TIPS.
