Garry Arnould, an Ontario man, plead guilty to “uttering a forged document”. The document was a prescription for a potentially dangerous narcotic. The pharmacist noticed the forgery because the handwriting on the form was not the typical doctor handwriting. It was too neat. The pharmacists description was “pretty legible”. Suspicion was confirmed with a call to the doctor’s office.
