A complaint about someone wandering through Point Pleasant High School distributing coupons for an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder drug was apparently a hoax.

The complaint was made to The Charleston Gazette by a woman who said her 16-year-old daughter received a discount card for the drug Adderall this week. The mother said her daughter got the card from a woman wearing a visitor's pass.

But Mason County school officials haven't been able to find any cards in the school, there's nothing on any videotape showing a woman visitor in the school and there's nothing in the visitor's log.

The mother, whose name wasn't published, contacted Marshall University psychology professor Joe Wyatt, who teaches about pharmaceutical sales tactics.

Wyatt then put the newspaper in contact with the mother.

Mason County School Superintendent Larry Parsons says school officials suspect the girl may have concocted the story to hide where she got the card.

Adderall is marketed by Shire Pharmaceuticals. A company spokesman says the discount card is part of a starter kit distributed solely through physicians' offices.
