ST. CHARLES – A Sugar Grove man is expected in court Friday on accusations he attempted to fill a forged prescription at a St. Charles pharmacy, records show.

Jackson Stuart Bailey, 20, of the 100 block of Walnut Circle, was charged May 4 with forgery, a Class 3 felony; possession of a prescription form, a Class 4 felony; and attempted acquisition of a controlled substance by forgery, a Class A misdemeanor.

Police responded about 6:45 p.m. May 4, to Target, 3885 E. Main St., after pharmacy employees noticed the prescription Bailey was trying to fill was forged, according to a St. Charles police report.

An employee knew the prescription was fraudulent because it contained information in an invalid format, and a call to the doctor’s office confirmed a prescription pad had been stolen, police reported.

The report states the doctor told police the pad was taken in February, and “numerous” prescriptions had been forged in February and March. The doctor reportedly had called Bailey and his parents, asking for the forgery to stop, and there was a lull in activity until recently.

Police reported the doctor got three calls from a Batavia pharmacy regarding prescriptions filled for Bailey that turned out to be forged and one call from a Sugar Grove pharmacy about a similar attempt.

Bailey’s bond was set at $10,000, and his father posted the necessary $1,000 bail, court records show.

Court records indicate he is being represented by a public defender, has demanded a speedy trial and is expected in court at 9 a.m. Friday.
