closeRALEIGH -- Police have charged a Durham man with using false names to obtain almost $20,000 in treatment and medication from Rex Hospital.
Stephen Ryan Glenn, 39, of 6 Lake Hill Drive in Durham, faces three counts of obtaining property by false pretenses and one count of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud or forgery. He was being held Monday in the Wake County jail with his bail set at $10,000.
Warrants accuse Glenn of using false names and birth dates, and falsely claiming injury to get medication. Most of the incidents occurred in October and November of last year, and one happened Monday, according to the warrants. The documents say he obtained $19,992 in medicine and services, and the narcotic Dilaudid.
