Prescription forgery tried at Kroger
A local couple has been arrested for trying to pass a forged prescription at a local pharmacy.
The suspects, Vincent L. Lance, 29, and Mandy J. Bailey, 24, are both charged with fraud for the incident which happened at Kroger pharmacy.
According to the arrest report, police were called to the pharmacy after employees became suspicious and double checked a prescription given to them by Bailey. The pharmacists had learned the Xanax portion of the prescription had been forged.
The suspects, who were waiting in the parking lot for the prescription to be filled, at first denied any knowledge of the forgery. However, following further questioning, Bailey admitted to altering the prescription and Lance admitted having knowledge of the forgery. Police say the suspects were going to split the drugs after the forged prescription was filled.
