LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police say an Elizabethtown, Ky., man working as a pharmacist at a Louisville Rite Aid is in trouble for allegedly forging a prescription for himself and filling it.

According to an arrest report, 25-year-old James Redmond worked at the Rite Aid on Preston Hwy., near St. Rita Drive. Police say loss prevention employees at the store discovered that something was amiss with Redmond's handling of prescriptions.

When confronted, Redmond allegedly admitted to forging and filling a prescription for himself, and to changing the dosage amount on another prescription.

He was arrested Friday evening and charged with -- among other things -- prescription forgery.
