I received a call from a police investigators that one of my "clients" had been arrested for forged prescriptions. This caught me by surprise since the man had been doing so well. After getting the details of the new arrest, I went to the county jail to interview the offender.
Once inside the cell, after giving him his Miranda rights, he agreed to talk to me. His story was simple, he didn't do it, someone else did. This individual had been charged with altering a prescription, the number 30 had been changed to 80. He was very nonchalent and serious in his explanation.
His statement was, "I had picked up the prescription and went home to change clothes after work before I took it to the pharmacy. I left it in the seat of my truck with my wallet when I went in to change clothes. Somebody got into my truck and changed the numbers and I didn't know it. When I went to get it filled, I got arrested."
It was difficult to control my laughter. I looked at him and asked, "Why didn't they just steal your prescription and wallet. That way they would have your driver's license as identification and get your pills too?" He looked at me for just a short moment, dropped his head and replied, "That was pretty stupid to say wasn't it". I had to agree with him.
