It is Easy to Be Accused of a Prescription Drug Crime

You could be arrested and tried for –

• Carrying a prescription that does not belong to you, even if it belongs to someone in your household.
• Selling pills that were legally prescribed by your doctor or giving them away. For example, if you have Vicodin leftover from an accident and sell or even give it to your neighbor for help with their pain, you could be charged.
• Lying in order to get a prescription or obtaining a prescription through fraudulent means.
