LaMelo Ball’s Girlfriend Ana Montana Gets Arrested on Felony Drug Charges
Authorities say she used a prescription tied to a doctor with stolen credentials to obtain alprazolam, and she faces four drug charges.
On Monday, September 28, Analicia Chaves, known as Ana Montana, was arrested in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, facing two felony counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and two misdemeanor counts of simple possession of a Schedule IV controlled substance.
Authorities allege Chaves filled a prescription for Alprazolam at a Walgreens in February using a stolen DEA registration and medical provider ID; a warrant for her arrest was issued on September 22, six days before custody.
Chaves' attorney framed the case as one that "traces back to a doctor," not an independent scheme, arguing the charges allege a doctor with a fraudulent DEA registration prescribed the medication.
Released on a $10,000 bond following her arrest, Chaves faces felony charges connected to a $20,000 bond requirement and is scheduled to appear in court on October 20.
Beyond the criminal allegations, Chaves shares a son, LaOne, with NBA star LaMelo Ball, and the couple launched a platform supporting women navigating fertility and IVF while the Timberwolves' regular season begins in three weeks.
