Then things went sideways.
For more than five years, state authorities said, Grinberg forged other doctors’ names on nearly 70 prescriptions for oxycodone, Adderall, Xanax, Cialis and a bunch of other drugs – apparently all for himself.
The crimes came to light in March 2021, they said, when a Walgreens in Vauxhall notified a New Jersey doctor about a dozen scripts …

Punk Godmother Patti Smith, Alex Hamilton, Ron Jaworski Among NJ Hall Of Fame Inductees
Patti Smith didn’t know what to expect when she popped in the cassette that Bruce Springsteen had given her.
Soon after, the godmother of punk poetry wrote a simple love song, punctuated by a big Boss arena-rock chorus.
“Because the Night” became a late ‘70s anthem of sorts, one that introduced many listeners to Patricia Lee Smith – who, like Springsteen, lived in the Garden State.
Smith, 74, will be among two dozen new inductees to the New Jersey Hall of Fame, it was announced Tuesday.
Among those joining Smith -- the former Pitman resident and Deptford High School graduate -- will be he…
