MPD looks to identify suspect who passed fraudulent prescription

The Madison Police Department is asking for the public's help to identify someone who passed over a fraudulent prescription for an opioid pain medication.

Officers were dispatched to the CVS Pharmacy located along the 6700 block of Mineral Point Road around 10:30 a.m. on September 25. Pharmacy staff reported a man had tried to get a fraudulent prescription filled the day before around 5:45 p.m. and that the prescription was from medical staff at a cancer care center in Illinois.

Staff reported the man became irritated when they would need a day to fill the prescription. Security video of his time at the store was shared with officers. A still frame from that video showing the suspect is pictured below.

Electronic prescription fraud is on the rise nationwide. 

If you recognize this suspect or have information regarding this incident, please contact Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014 or online at p3tips.com. Information may be shared anonymously and could be eligible for a monetary reward if an arrest is made.
