An Onslow County mother is behind bars after deputies say she used her daughter in an attempt to get more drugs in a doctor shopping scheme.

Ciara Ford was arrested Friday and charged with 13 felonies, including obtaining controlled substances by prescription by misrepresentation, trafficking in opium or heroin, along with two counts of misdemeanor child abuse.

Deputies say last summer the 29-year-old was given a 20-day supply of alprazolam from a doctor in Virginia. They say the woman then contacted several doctors and pharmacies toward the end of the year in attempts to obtain more drugs through doctor shopping.

Major Chris Thomas says at an urgent care in Sneads Ferry, the woman is accused of having her daughter urinate in a cup and then hide it in a restroom trashcan in an unsuccessful attempt to thwart a required drug test.

Ford was jailed on a $316,000 bond.
