Gallagher was arrested in 2011 for prescription drug fraud.

According to her arrest affidavit for that arrest, Gallagher stole a prescription for Hydrocodone from a woman’s party.

The arrest warrant went on to say that Gallagher called in a refill on the prescription and could be seen on surveillance video picking up the refill at the pharmacy.
