The owner of a holistic clinic in Lewes faces felony charges after investigators said they were able to link her to fraudulent medical marijuana applications.

Carolan C. Krajewski, 37, who is also known as Carolan Fischer and owns Delaware Holistic Medicine, has been charged with three counts of felony tampering with public records first degree and three counts of felony forgery second degree, according to Delaware State Police.

The investigation started in May after members of the Delaware State Police Sussex County Financial Crimes Unit learned about fraudulent activity taking place at Delaware Holistic Medicine, which used to be known as Disjointed, according to police.

The Medical Marijuana Compliance Program had been contacted about medical marijuana applications that had fraudulent signatures in the physician section, police said, and further investigation linked Krajewski to the fraudulent activity.

Medical Marijuana Compliance Program investigators reached out to patients and learned that none of them had ever been seen by a physician, according to police, but had dealt only with Krajewski.

A search warrant was executed on Friday with the assistance of the Delaware State Police Drug Diversion Unit and the Division of Professional Regulations, and Krajewski was contacted at the business and taken into custody. Police said she was released on a $2,250 unsecured bond.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with additional information is asked to contact contact Sgt. D. Rementer, Troop 4 Sussex County Financial Crimes Unit at 302-752-3814.
