Be Careful Out There - Filling a Pain Pill Prescription Has Its Dangers

I’ve talked to two people lately that were arrested for filling prescriptions. They both say they had valid prescriptions written by reputable doctors. And they both say they never had a drug problem or arrest in their life.

One of these two was arrested the day before Thanksgiving and spent the holiday in jail. They were apparently caught up in police stings. It seems the police were looking for people with fake prescriptions; or maybe the police were looking for people that filled the same prescription over and over again.

I hate to think that if I had pain. That if I had a prescription for pain pills, on top of the pain I had to worry about being arrested just for filling a prescription.
