A pharmacist in northern Utah targeted by callers in a scheme involving rapper NBA YoungBoy said multiple red flags prevented them from fulfilling the order.

Gaulden was taken into custody Tuesday by the Cache County Sheriff’s Office, accused of organizing a fraud ring involving prescription thefts at Utah pharmacies.According to the affidavit, the Cache County Sheriff's Office began investigating Gaulden after he was identified as a suspect in the prescription fraud ring.

Pharmacist Erik Stewart from Reed’s Pharmacy in Hyrum said they never fulfilled the order called in by the group because they noticed some red flags.He was glad to hear of an arrest in the investigation, though he had not heard of the rapper before. Stewart said his team got a call from someone claiming to be a doctor, needing to fill a prescription – something he called the first red flag.

"The bigger problem, honestly, would be the fact that these medications they're trying to get are regulated, and so throwing a chink in the process can really disrupt potential opportunities to get the medication you actually need,” Stewart said.
