Pharmacy related criminal fraud charges
A lot of fraud and falsification of document cases result from pharmacy related incidents where the accused forges a prescription in order to obtain a controlled substance drug. The most common forms of this involve opioids such as Oxycodone / Oxycontin and Hydromorphone aka Dilaudid. Unfortunately many accused end up addicted to these medications after being legally prescribed them after an accident, medical procedure, or other event in which they were in a lot of pain.Instead of turning to street drugs like heroin, crack, cocaine, fentanyl, meth etc. they may desperately try to obtain more pills from the pharmacy under the guise of a fake prescription. Most pharmacies will confirm with the patient’s Doctor before dispensing narcotic drugs. RX scripts for opiate type narcotics including Tylenol 3, 4 and other codeine related medications will also be subject to additional scrutiny.
While the accused deserves sympathy in these circumstances which usually involve personal use and addiction, the police in Ontario consider these to be serious offences and will press charges if evidence is presented. Often the evidence is the eye witness testimony of the pharmacist or their assistant themselves, CCTV video footage, and the fraudulent prescription.
Sometimes it is possible to get these charges dropped depending on the criminal history of the accused and the intent.
It is much worse to fraudulently obtain drugs from a pharmacy for the purpose of selling them than for personal use due to addiction. The Crown Attorney and the Judge will consider these factors when evaluating the case.
