NBA Star's Partner Faces Felony Drug Charges
30 Sep
Summary
- Model Ana Montana arrested for obtaining fake prescription.
- She faces felony counts for drug fraud and possession.
- Charges stem from a February incident at a Walgreens.
Analicia "Ana Montana" Chaves, known as the partner of NBA player LaMelo Ball and mother of his child, was arrested on Monday, September 28. The arrest occurred in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, where she faces charges related to an alleged prescription fraud scheme. She was released on a $10,000 bond.
Chaves is accused of attempting to fill a fraudulent prescription for alprazolam, the generic form of Xanax, at a Walgreens in February. Court records indicate the prescription was allegedly issued under a stolen doctor's DEA registration and NPI number. She faces two felony counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud or forgery, and two misdemeanor counts of simple possession.
Her attorney, Matthew G. Pruden, clarified that the charges allege Chaves used a prescription from a doctor with fraudulent credentials. Chaves, 36, is scheduled for a court hearing on October 20. The couple welcomed their son, LaOne, this past spring and have since launched a fertility platform inspired by Chaves' IVF experience.
