FORGERY: Officers on Dec. 10 were dispatched to the Rite Aid for a prescription forgery in progress. Store officials reported that a woman “acting weird” was attempting to fill an oxycodone prescription for her brother-in-law. The employee noted that the phone number listed on the tablet was incorrect for the doctor’s office and when they called the number, the person answering tried to act as if the pharmacy had called the doctor, but also got the birthday of the patient wrong during confirmation. When police first contacted the suspect, she gave police a name and address but could not give a social security number. When the officer asked who she really was, the suspect looked away and did not answer. The name she gave police returned with a warrant and police arrested the woman. A search of her purse revealed her correct information as well as a small book containing names and birthdays, including the one she gave for the prescription. She was arrested and transported to Pierce County Jail where she was booked on a charge of prescription forgery. Police are also requesting a charge of possession of prescription medication without a prescription be added.
