TREASURE ISLAND — Authorities say twin brothers and a woman were part of a drug ring, making fake prescriptions and forging doctors' signatures to get drugs.
At 1 a.m. Saturday, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office detectives arrested Aldo Jogan, 36, and his girlfriend Nicole Bagley, 25, at the Howard Johnson motel on U.S. 19 in Pinellas Park.
They then arrested Aldo Jogan's twin brother, Alberto Jogan, at the Swashbuckler Motel in Treasure Island. All three were charged with conspiracy to traffic in oxycodone.
After inventing prescriptions and forging doctors signatures, the three sent "runners" to get the pills, police said. They paid the runners with a few pills and sold the rest, according to police. During the arrest, detectives confiscated a laptop, a printer and prescription sheets.
Detectives began investigating the case in 2008 and had a breakthrough on Wednesday, when they learned where the three were staying.
