Forgery itself is a felony. Forgery of scrips for controlled drugs can either be a state or a federal offense. Serious stuff!
You need a lawyer for a correct and legal answer.
yes, unless you have a DEA number you cannot write any prescriptions! -- It is a felony if you are proven to have done it intentionally. Most states classify unintentional prescription forgery/fraud as a misdemeanor though.
If you plead guilty to the crime of 2nd Degree Forgery (Forgery II), you will end the trial phrase of your actions and enter into the sentencing phase.Since 2nd Degree Forgery is a Class "A" Misdemeanor, the maximum penalty is:1 Year Imprisonment; and/orA fine not exceeding $6250.
probably misdemeanor, maybe felony depends if it was cocaine or just prescription drugs
felony because the prescription becomes a controlled substance after you tamper with it,and then you get caught for possession too.
In Missouri, if discovered, you will be arrested for a Class C Felony of Forgery & Class C Felony of Possesson of a Controlled Substance except 35 Grams of Marjuiana.
In most states, giving controlled substances to friends is the same as if you sold them to friends -- it's dealing. Whether the DA chooses to prosecute this as a Felony or not depends on the State, the quantity, your criminal record, and the DA's mood and/or need for an easy conviction.
yes it is a felony anywhere in the U.S. unless you go to a clinic and it is in your bottle with your name on it or you have a prescription to it.
If convicted you bet you do. Forging a prescription is against the law. It is generally defined as the illegal acquisition of pharmaceuticals for personal use or profit. This is Kentucky Law. It will vary by state. "Every person who forges or alters a prescription or who issues or utters an altered prescription, or who issues or utters a prescription bearing a forged or fictitious signature for any narcotic drug, or who obtains any narcotic drug by any forged, fictitious, or altered prescription, or who has in possession any narcotic drug secured by a forged, fictitious, or altered prescription, shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than six months nor more than one year, or in the state prison." (Emphasis added)
Prescription forgery is a felony that is punishable up to five years in prison and has large fines. Doctors and dentists can lose their professional license and not be able to practice for a long time.
Question is cut off and incomplete. Shorten it and re-submit please after checking your facts. Disorderly Conduct is a misdemeanor criminal charge and the Family Courts I am familiar with, have no jurisdiction in criminal matters. In fact, don't even have prosecutors assigned to them. Only a prosecutors can nolle a police charge.
A synonym for forgery is counterfeit.
