Authorities say a Key West man is facing more than 100 felony charges after an investigation that started with a traffic stop.

Police have charged Richard Chip Dougherty, 37, with 58 counts of forgery, 31 counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud, 31 counts of criminal use of personal identification information and 29 counts of trafficking in controlled substances.

Key West police began investigating Dougherty for computer prescription fraud after he was charged with a DUI and two counts of possession of forged prescriptions in August.
