Thanks for backing up what I've been posting. It is possible is it not that the pharmacy just couldn't confirm the script since it was late at night and they called the police.
Sure is. I'm assuming she presented a written prescription that couldn't be verified. I do know that the laws have tightened (I haven't worked in a pharmacy since 1990.) If she presented a bottle to be refilled that didn't have a refill on it, and the pharmacy called the police, I'd be screaming "setup." It is not illegal to present a bottle for a refill, even if there wasn't one originally on the prescription.
One of the funniest things that happened when I worked in a pharmacy was one night I had a guy come in complaining of severe pain and could he please please please have one Percodan? He got laughed out of the store. But that happens more often than not. We'd have customers bring in a bottle for pain pills or sleeping meds right before closing, no refills. Sometimes we'd give them one to get them through the night, and call the doctor in the morning.
