Amy Pierce, LPN, of Jacksonville, West Virginia, has been charged with stealing Dilaudid from her hospital employer, reports WSAZ News Channel 3, a local news source. The name of the facility was not released.
Pierce, 31, reportedly came under investigation in June 2009 when co-workers told authorities they believed she was tampering with vials of the drug. A small camera installed near the hospital's drug locker caught Pierce on tape, according to WSAZ. She was arrested July 15, at which point she allegedly told deputies that she had replaced two vials of the drug with saline.
Pierce is charged with two counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud. She was released on $30,000 bond, WSAZ reported. As of this posting, no court dates had been set
