WEST VIRGINIA....
Twenty-nine year old Justin Carrier of Alum Creek was arrested this week and charged him with felony forgery and uttering. Police say he took two forged prescriptions for generic Xanax and Oxycodone to the Rite Aid Pharmacy on MacCorkle Avenue in South Charleston with the last name of the doctor spelled differently on each prescription. After becoming suspicious, the pharmacist called the emergency room at Charleston Area Medical Center General Hospital, where Carrier had been the previous day. Records showed the two prescriptions were not in his file. When Carrier returned to the pharmacy to pick up the pills, he was told the pharmacist didn't have clearance from the doctor to fill the prescription. Carrier then allegedly ran out of the store.
