Cops: Man Used Fake Prescription for Oxycodone in Hicksville

A Roslyn man attempted to buy Oxycodone with a fake prescription in Hicksville, authorities said.

Nassau Police say Jason Kang, 30, was at Smith’s Pharmacy, located at 53 N. Broadway, on Oct. 7 and 8. On at least one of those occasions, he tried to fill a prescription for Oxycodone. The pharmacy employee verified the defendant’s identification by his driver’s license, but when the employee realized that the prescription was fraudulent and had been altered, the defendant fled.

Kang surrendered to police on Tuesday at 10 a.m. and was placed under arrest.

Kang is charged with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. He was to be arraigned on Tuesday at First District Court in Hempstead.
