While looking through his prescription history, however, the detective felt that something wasn’t right. Eventually, Pyle heard from the Salt Lake County Attorney’s Office. His case had been screened and declined for prosecution. Four days later, the Utah Attorney General charged Ryan Pyle with prescription drug fraud.
