Murrah also appears to have a prior criminal record. According to Adams, Murrah (then known as Brandy Renee Williams) has five previous convictions for fraudulent use of a credit/debit card. Houston County court records show Williams pleaded guilty to the counts in 2013 for the incidents occurring in 2012. She was sentenced to three years probation.

Ozark Police Chief Marlos Walker said authorities have been working on the forgery case since May 2 when they received an allegation that drug test screenings and paternity tests were altered and/or forged by the Ozark business, which does testing for Dale County DHR.

Adams said the investigation began when a Pike County resident raised concerns about a positive screen result.

“From my understanding one individual contacted the doctor who signed the paperwork stating his/her drug test was positive,” Adams said.

According to Adams, the doctor told the resident she was not familiar with a signed test result for that screen related to A&J Lab Collections. Adams said the doctor told the resident she had not signed any documents for Murrah since January of 2019.

There is currently no indication of how many test results may be in question. Authorities are currently going through dozens of screens per month handled by the lab.
