The last of five defendants in a prescription drug ring entered a guilty plea in Carbon County court on Thursday.

Jessica S. Campbell, 27, formerly of Matamoras, Pike County, now a resident of a halfway house in New York state, pleaded guilty to 25 counts of acquiring or obtaining a controlled substance by misrepresentation, and one count each of possession of a controlled substance, corrupt organization and criminal conspiracy. Of the 28 counts, 26 are felonies.Others who were charged in the operation and have pleaded guilty and have been sentenced included Angela McClain, 44, of Tobyhanna, the alleged ringleader of the ring; Edward Lee Szczesny, 27, of East Stroudsburg; Charles F. Daniel, 27, of Effort; and Lee Erick Daniel, 25, of Daytona Beach, Florida.The attorney general's office charged that McClain gave forged prescriptions to her boyfriend, Szczesny. The prescriptions, in some cases, were made out to Charles Daniel, Lee Daniel and Campbell. They were paid between $100 and $200 to fill the prescriptions at the various pharmacies in Carbon, Monroe and Northampton counties. None of the people involved in the case were patients of Manzella.Defense Attorney Stephen P. Vlossak said his client recently completed a long-term inpatient drug rehabilitation program that lasted a few days short of a year. He also contended that his client was the least culpable in the matter.The investigation revealed that Campbell received 1,080 oxycodone pills with the prescriptions. A total of 5,000 of the pills were received by the group during the operation.Christie F. Bonesch, of the Attorney General's office who is prosecutor, agreed with Vlossak concerning Campbell's participation in the ring. She said, "She was not a major player but participated to get medications to feed her habit."Judge Steven R. Serfass told Campbell that under state sentencing guidelines she is facing a state prison term when sentenced. He accepted the pleas but deferred sentencing and ordered the adult probation office to prepare a presentence investigation report.
