Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies investigated a report that a Fountain Hills man had been stealing prescription medication from his grandparents.

A California woman made the report to deputies when she came to Fountain Hills to move the older couple back to California with her.

The suspect told deputies he had taken some of the prescription pain medication to use for his own chronic pain. He said he did so with his grandfather’s permission.

The older man denied giving permission, although deputies reported his memory seemed unclear.

The Sheriff’s Office has forwarded the information to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for review and possible charges.
