tampering with prescription meds

[insider]

What is the name of your state? NY
Hi, I am not sure is this belongs here.

My father is going through a nasty divorce. He has been taping his wife without her knowledge. Last week she started an argument to where she took his 2 of his prescription medications off the top of the refrig and washed them down the sink.

My father called the police immediatly. They spoke to her to which she lied through her teeth and stated he told her to do it. My father then played back the voice recorder to the police. In the police statement it states my father's side was backed up by the tape and his wife's story was opposite of the tape. She did not sign a statement though, so she could not be arrested for filing a false instrument.

My father's wife has a child with the chief of police. She has been having an affair with him. Which is one of the reasons my father is divorcing her. No charges were filed againist his wife. Of course the chief of police was on that night.

Did she voilate any law concerning tampering or disposing of his prescription medication? Can anyone cite the law number?
