Two people, one from North Carolina and the other from New York, are being held in Sioux Falls in a prescription fraud case.

Captain Greg Vandekamp says police were called around 7:30 PM Tuesday to the HyVee Store on South Minnesota Avenue where a customer had tried to use what appeared to be a fraudulent prescription:

VandeKamp says officers went to the ShopKo store on West 41st Street and arrested 30-year-old Courtney Davis of Raleigh, North Carolina and 31-year-old William McWhite of New York City for allegedly trying to buy oxycodone with fraudulent prescriptions. He says both were arrested on charges that included prescription fraud and possession of a controlled substance.

VandfeKamp says a search of the couple's hotel room turned up a computer that was allegedly being used to generate the fraudulent prescriptions.
