Canfield police arrest 2 men in use of fake prescription

CANFIELD -- Police arrested two men on drug charges Tuesday afternoon after receiving a report that a fake prescription had been used at Buckeye Pharmacy on North Broad Street.
One of the men, 31, of East 61st Street, Cleveland, was charged by police with drug abuse, possession of drug paraphernalia and two counts of illegal processing of drug documents. The other man, of Ravenna Avenue in Youngstown, was charged by police with drug abuse. Their court appearances are pending.
Police received a call at 2:30 p.m. from a Buckeye Pharmacy employee who said the Cleveland man had given them a fake prescription for Tussinex, a liquid cough medicine. Officers arrested the man outside of a parked car in the pharmacy parking lot.
Police later searched the man at the police station and found a suspected crack pipe, rolling papers and a blank prescription sheet. He also was wanted on warrants for forgery and possession of criminal tools in Franklin County.
The Youngstown man was in the driver's seat of the parked car. Police searched the car and found two suspected plastic bags of marijuana in the center console. A nearly empty prescription bottle of Tussinex also was found in the car.
