A nurse at a nursing home facility was recently arrested for stealing medication from patients. Drugs that belonged to patients were found in the nurse’s car. She also confessed to the theft of oxycodone, tramadol, vicodin, sleeping pills, and melatonin among other drugs.
Once the nurse was caught on surveillance video for conducting suspicious activity with access to patients’ medications, police were brought in to investigate.
