Spokane man uses Seahawk names to obtain narcotics

Mar 3, 2015, 2:36 PM | Updated: 3:13 pm

A Spokane Valley man tried to use the names of Seahawk players to obtain narcotics and other prescription drugs.

Jeffory Mock Jr., 34, faces 12 felony charges after allegedly obtaining controlled substances by fraud.

Mock visited eight Spokane-area hospitals and urgent care clinics 17 times between March 2013 and May 2014, according to the charges filed. During each visit, Mock claimed to have been injured on a job.

Mock used various names in his compensation claims, typically signing the surname of a Seattle Seahawk or other pro-ball players or coaches. Among the last names he used: Harvin, Largent, Sherman, Mora, Richardson, Hollenbeck, Robinson, Okung, Marino, Bledsoe, Henderson. He also used Malone, Langston and Duckworth.

Mock received a variety of medications, including Valium, hydrocodone and hydromophone.

The Department of Labor & Industries investigated the case after an employer listed on one of the compensation forms told L&I the job compensation files may have been filled out by Mock. A handwriting expert confirmed the forms matched samples of Mock’s writing. He was later identified by several care facilities as a patient that was treated under another name.
