A Dale County woman is the suspect in an ongoing Ozark Police Department investigation into false drug screenings and paternity testing.
Ozark Police Chief Marlos Walker said that A and J Lab owner Brandy Murrah, 36, of Clopton is being sought in connection with a law enforcement investigation that began May 2 after allegations of altering and forging of drug test screenings and paternity testing at the Ozark-based lab surfaced.
Two arrest warrants have been obtained for Murrah’s arrest for forgery after evidence of drug screening reports that were provided to the Dale County Department of Human Resources by Murrah were found to be falsified, Walker said. “Multiple other drug screening reports provided by Murrah to Dale County DHR are also believe to be forged by Mrs. Murrah.”
Walker said the investigation is ongoing and additional charges are expected.
The Henry County Sheriff’s Office, Dale County District Attorney’s Office, the Dale County Department of Human Resources and the Dale County Court Officials are assisting in the investigation, he said.
Anyone with information is asked to call OPD Sgt. Everett Evans at (334) 774-2644.
