NEW YORK — The case against a former Miss Russia charged with forging prescriptions to get painkillers in New York has been dismissed after she spent two sometimes rocky years in drug treatment.

Anna Malova said she’s learned her lesson as she left a Manhattan court Tuesday.

Malova went into treatment in June 2011. Authorities said she sometimes hoarded pills and caused trouble in the program.
