A Montana woman was given three years probation on Wednesday for her part in a prescription drug scheme at an Indian Health Service hospital on the Crow Reservation.

Joyce LaForge allowed herself to be used so Denise Willett, a former nurse practitioner at the clinic, could obtain drugs. Willett wrote prescriptions for Percocet and other narcotics.

Willett pleaded guilty to 100 counts of conspiracy to commit fraud. She will be sentenced July 23.
