Narcotics agents arrested a Courtland woman today for allegedly selling her child's prescription medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Lawrence County Sheriff Gene Mitchell said.

Tetsa Ann Cross, 34, of 940 Waters St., Apt. 15, faces two counts of distributing a controlled substance.

Undercover agents bought Vyvanse from Cross twice at her residence, Mitchell said. Vyvanse is the brand name for lisdexamfetamine.

Mitchell said Cross was selling part of the child's prescription to supplement her income because she is unemployed. The medication was paid for through the Medicare system, and agents intend to contact the state about possible Medicare fraud, the sheriff said.

Drug Task Force agents began investigating Cross after receiving several complaints from citizens, Mitchell said.

Cross was being held in Lawrence County Jail. Her bail had not been set.
