'Below Deck' Couple Faces Legal Trouble for Prescription Drug Scheme

Dr. Francis Martinis, a urologist who appeared on the Bravo reality show "Below Deck," and his wife, Jessica, have been arrested on Long Island for allegedly stealing the identities of cast members to obtain prescription drugs. The couple is accused of using the personal information of other cast members to write fake prescriptions for oxycodone. The scheme was uncovered when Jessica attempted to fill a bogus prescription, prompting a pharmacist to call the police. Further investigation revealed that the doctor had sent numerous fake prescriptions for oxycodone to pharmacies over a two-year period. The couple has been charged with criminal sale of controlled substances and falsifying business records. The allegations are serious, especially given the ongoing national addiction crisis.
