The felony charge is described as falling under North Carolina General Statutes § 90-108(10), which covers obtaining a controlled substance through misrepresentation, fraud, forgery, deception or subterfuge; the statute itself does not establish that a defendant is guilty.
Ana Montana, the social media personality and longtime partner of NBA player LaMelo Ball, was arrested in North Carolina on September 28 on two felony drug charges. BlackSportsOnline reported that Chaves — her legal name is Analicia Chaves — was charged with obtaining a controlled substance by fraud or forgery, plus two misdemeanor possession counts. The charges stem from a February 21 pharmacy visit where alprazolam, the generic form of Xanax, was allegedly obtained using prescriptions linked to a doctor's stolen or fraudulent credentials.
Chaves posted an emotional statement addressing the arrest and said she filled a prescription written by a doctor — she did not forge it herself. The NC Beat noted that a warrant was issued September 22, and Chaves was held on a $20,000 bond before posting bail. Ball is not implicated in the case. An arrest does not establish guilt, and the charges remain unresolved.
Years of Anxiety and Private Management
Chaves said she has struggled with anxiety for years and has tried to manage it privately. She described her focus as her family and infant son with Ball. Fox News reported that Chaves asked for privacy as she navigates the case.
Timeline From Pharmacy Visit to Arrest
The alleged Walgreens visit occurred on February 21, 2026. WFMD reported that the arrest warrant was not issued until September 22 — nearly seven months later — and Chaves was arrested six days after that on September 28. She was booked into a North Carolina facility and held on a $20,000 bond before posting bail.
What the Felony Charge Covers Under North Carolina Law
The felony charge falls under North Carolina General Statutes § 90-108(10), which covers obtaining a controlled substance through misrepresentation, fraud, forgery, deception or subterfuge. The NC Beat explained that the statute itself does not establish that a defendant is guilty — it simply defines the scope of the alleged crime. Chaves's attorney emphasized that she filled a prescription written by a licensed doctor and did not engage in forgery.
Chaves Continues Nonprofit Work Supporting Women
Despite the charges, Chaves said she plans to continue her nonprofit work supporting women navigating IVF and fertility journeys. BlackSportsOnline reported that she has remained focused on her family and community efforts while the legal case unfolds.
