call a lawyer. is there a warrant?
if the script was a fake, the pharmacist knew it when he came in which is why they didn't fill it. they would have then called the doctor on the script and informed them and possibly the police.
if there is a warrant out for his arrest, then he needs to get a lawyer and turn himself in. if there isn't a warrant, then i don't really know.... it's been 2 months. they'd have done something by now.
I would lawyer up......fraudulent scripts are felonies.
So he shouldn't even talk to the cop? I just dont understand why it would be 2 months later....hes going nuts cuz for once in his life he is doing good, off drugs, involved in church etc....
I find it strange that the police were able to phone him and yet did not go to his residence to apprehend him. They would be able to find out where he lives, yet they are in a wait and see mood? When it concerns drugs, which is a felony, they normally don't sit back and wait for the perp to turn his/herself in. It is possible that they are watching him to see if there is more to it. Possibly a of persons involved. It would be smart to turn himself in and if a lawyer is required they will either give him one or allow him to contact his own. This way they will know that he is not connected to anyone else and that he has been clean for X number of months.
Possibly a of persons involved, should have read, " Possibly other persons involved."
yeah, like mangee...i'm confused. why did they call and ask politely to for him to come in? if he DOES talk to them, i'd have a lawyer there even if they say he doesn't need one. simple as that. if they haven't arrested him, obviously they haven't got the evidence to do it or they would have. generally in cases like these, the police are called before the patient even knows whats going on and the cops are there to arrest them when they pick it up....UNLESS they can't verify that it's a fake. they usually have to get in contact with the doc to verify that it's a fake and if they can't, then there's not much they can do but keep the script...they wouldn't usually give it back.
weird. but yeah...a lawyer if he talks to the cops.
