The pharmacist identified a woman at the store, and told police that something seemed incorrect about the scrip she was trying to fill, which is when he contacted the issuing doctor, whose office said they had not written a prescription for the woman. 

When officers spoke to the woman, she provided identification to them. A query of the records of Providence, RI woman Dolly Andrews, 33, turned up an outstanding warrant from Milford District Court for uttering a false prescription. She was arrested and charged on that warrant, and by Wellesley Police with uttering a false prescription.
