It was Stadol, a Schedule IV narcotic.
After investigation, it was discovered that Susan Kennedy, a school employee who also works in the Hornet Health Center, came into the pharmacy that same day to pick up the prescription.

She also admitted to forging the parent’s signature on the form. That parent has been in contact with the Bryant Detective working the case.
