2 men accused in fake prescriptions case

Two Dayton men are accused of running a prescription pill scam that police say had the accused picking up medications they prescribed to themselves.

According to an indictment returned by a Montgomery County grand jury, Sterling Roberts and Christopher Goss forged prescriptions for months.

Police said that according to their investigation, the men created fake prescriptions on computers, printed them out and cashed in on them, allegedly forging the signatures of as many as four area pharmacists and gaining access to drugs such as oxycodone, hydrocodone and Xanax from pharmacies in Dayton, Kettering and Huber Heights.

According to the indictment, both men are formally charged with a single count of felony engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity as well as a slew of other charges – Roberts is accused of committing 13 felonies and Goss must answer to 31.

Police said they believe the suspects used the drugs and sold them on the street.

Roberts and Goss have pleaded not guilty and are out of the Montgomery County Jail. Goss is to be in court next week.
