Misspelling of OxyContin Leads to Okla. Drug Arrest

OKLAHOMA CITY --

An Oklahoma City pharmacist knew something wasn't quite right when a prescription for OxyContin came in misspelled.

An employee at a CVS pharmacy, located at 4540 NW 23rd St., called the phone number on the prescription pad, according to a police report.

Police said a man answered the phone and said it was a legitimate prescription. However, the pharmacist told authorities he was not convinced.

After some more investigating to determine the prescription was a fraud, the police were called.

Police arrived and arrested the suspect on suspicion of forgery.
