That's after the Pulaski Police Department gave fingerprinting kits to six pharmacies this week.
It's an effort to crack down on prescription fraud: the abuse of otherwise legal narcotics -- especially the painkiller OxyContin.
The A-C-L-U says fingerprinting may make legitimate consumers feel like criminals.

State health officials say a salmonella outbreak in the Lynchburg area appears to be under control.
25 cases of food-borne bacteria have been linked to one local restaurant, but the Health Department will not release its name, telling us no one has reported getting sick in more than two weeks.
Health officials say the restaurant's operator has restricted all infected employees from handling food .. and has disinfected preparation areas.
The specific source of the outbreak has not been identified.

The state says it will cut costs and eliminate fraud.
But some say its costs them nothing but confusion and frustration.
The controversy is over how medicaid patients now have to arrange rides for doctor's appointments.

((NAT SOUND OF PATIENT GETTING INTO VAN))
Before July 2nd, medicaid recipients had it easy.
If they needed a ride to the doctor, they would call the transportation provider directly.
That was then, this is now.
Just ask Lisa Haymes.

[IN Q=The lady never showed]
((LISA HAYMES/MEDICAID PATIENT: THEY TELL ME THEY'RE GOING TO SEND ME A RIDE AND NOBODY SHOWS UP.))
[Runs=03]
[OUT Q=nobody shows up]

The problems began last week when Virginia's Department of Medical Assistance Services switched to a broker system.
Medicaid recipients must now call a regional broker who then coordinates rides with local providers.
In this region, that broker is DynCorp.
[SOT 16:29:58]

((LYNNETTE THOMAS/ASHWOOD HOME FOR ADULTS: WHAT THEY WANT US TO DO IS COMMUNICATE VIA FAX AND THAT USUALLY MAINTAINS A BUSY SIGNAL.))

And even if you can get through, that doesn't guarantee you a ride.
Many transportation providers refused to sign with DynCorp, leaving few rides available for the people who need them.

The Henry County Sheriff's Department is investigating what it calls a suspicious death.
The probe started when 46-year old Jeffery Alan Ramsey of Ridgeway died Tuesday at Martinsville Memorial Hospital.

Investigators believe Ramsey may have been involved in an altercation at his home before he died.
His body has been sent to a medical examiner, and deputies have questioned at least one person.
