One Austin man has pleaded guilty to his involvement in a prescription drug scam.

Anthony Ledoux, 29 — charged with fifth-degree attempt to procure drugs, a felony, one count of gross misdemeanor controlled substance DWI and driving after revocation — signed a petition to enter a guilty plea Friday in Mower County Court.

Another man involved, Juan Irlas, 39, pleaded not guilty to fifth-degree drug possession on May 10.

Police arrested Irlas and Ledoux on April 24 after Irlas allegedly provided pharmacists at the Austin Walgreens with a fake prescription for Hydrocodone, a pain killer. According to the court complaint, the pharmacist said Irlas tried to provide 12 refills of the prescription, but the maximum is five. Furthermore, Hydrocodone requires a DEA approval, of which Irlas had none.

Police called the doctor on the prescription and discovered Irlas attempted the same thing in Albert Lea earlier that day, according to the complaint. Police went to Walgreens where Ledoux picked up the prescription and blocked his vehicle at the pickup window and arrested him. An officer noticed Ledoux spoke rapidly, was shaky and seemed nervous. Ledoux said he was picking the prescription up for his cousin, and he hastily refused to have officers retrieve his cell phone and said to leave it in the vehicle, the complaint states. An officer then allegedly saw an incoming message on that phone from a person about the prescription drugs.

Police later arrested Irlas, who said he did not send Ledoux to pick up the prescription. Ledoux admitted that he takes 20 mg of Oxycontin every eight hours, 5 mg of Oxycodone every six hours and 10 mg of Adderall once or twice daily, according to the complaint. It also states Irlas admitted to obtaining Amlodipine and Buproprion but realized he needed a prescription for the Hydrocodone. He also admitted to being in Albert Lea.

Ledoux’s sentencing is set for Nov. 18 while Irlas has a jury trial set for July 23.
