Illegals prepaing prescriptions.

Narcotics detectives with the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department said Thursday they arrested a pharmacy technician on April 11 suspected of embezzling prescription pills and selling them on the street there.

Detectives allege David Lopez-Mejia, 22, sold Oxycontin pills to an undercover detective numerous times.

His arrest came after a six-month undercover investigation, detectives said.

Lopez-Mejia was taken to the Santa Barbara County Jail, where he remained without bail on Thursday because of an immigration hold, authorities said.
