Prescription Fraud and Related Drug Crimes in Southern California

Prescription fraud is a drug crime related to prescription drugs, those medicines that can only be obtained or administered with a valid prescription from a licensed medical professional. Due to the more recent increase in prescription drug crimes throughout California and the rest of the United States, prescription fraud charges are on the rise as well. Prescription fraud is defined as using fraudulent means, forgery or misrepresentation to unlawfully obtain a prescription drug. Prescription fraud may be committed for personal use or with the intent to sell or distribute the drugs.
