Suspicious Pharmacy Clerk Helps Nab Man Attempting Prescription Fraud

An alert pharmacy employee at a Loganville Kroger helped police nabbed a man who was trying to fill a fraudulent prescription.

According to the Gwinnett Police incident report, the employee was suspicious of the man when he came into the store Nov. 5, asking to have two prescriptions filled from a doctor in Atlanta. Both had what police said were forged signatures of the doctor.

The pharmacy clerk told the man he should come back in an hour and a half for the pharmacy to fill the prescription. After he left, she called to doctor’s office to confirm the prescriptions were fake.

When he returned, she called police with the man’s name and description.

When police arrived, they confronted Jordan Cornelius of Atlanta coming out of the store. The pharmacy clerk positively identified him as the suspect.

Cornelius was arrested and charged with two counts of obtaining dangerous drugs by fraud.
