A clerical staffer at a Louisiana medical clinic was arrested after being accused of selling doctor’s notes that high school students would use to skip class.
Belinda Fondren’s arrest on a false record charge was announced this week by the Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office.
The case against the 52-year-old Evans woman stemmed from complaints that she was “selling medical excuses to students at local high schools,” the office said.

Sheriff Sam Craft said Fondren was charging students $20 per note, KPLC-TV reported Wednesday.
He said it was common knowledge that the notes were available for purchase at her daughter's school, Evans High School, the station reported.
