Waukesha Woman Charged with Allegedly Trying to Pass a Fraudulent Prescription

Complaint alleges suspect altered a prescription in order to obtain Hydrocodone.

A 27-year-old Waukesha woman is facing charges on allegations she tried to obtain pain killers from with a forged prescription.

Mia L. Haines was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Thursday with one count of obtaining a prescription drug with fraud and one count of felony bail jumping. If convicted, she faces up to six and a half years in prison and $10,500 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint, officers were called to Walmart at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday after Haines came into the store’s pharmacy trying to pass a forged prescription for Hydrocodone. Haines dropped off the prescription and left, and when a pharmacy employee called to check the status of the prescription, it was discovered it was fraudulent, according to the complaint.
