The driver received a verbal warning about running the red light.

Fraudulent prescription

Police arrested a 21-year-old Walled Lake man, after he had a prescription filled at the CVS Pharmacy on Farmington Rd. Sept. 29. According to the report, the pharmacist who filled the prescription for oxycodone asked the man for his driver's license. The prescription was in another man's name. When another pharmacist called to confirm the prescription was valid, the doctor's office contacted reported it was not.
