1st District Congressman James H. Quillen is well-known in Northeast Tennessee with a section of I-26, a college and veterans hospital named after him. He has been dead since 2003 and served 34 years in congress. 27-year-old Amber Elkins of Mt. Carmel, Tennessee didn't seem to notice any of this, but employees at Walgreens in kingsport sure did.

Personal information the caller had provided for the alleged patient was used to identify a suspect, Amber N. Elkins..."
