Incident 33858

A nurse, one of three,  was charged in Warren County Common Pleas Court with theft of drugs and illegal processing of drug documents.

The nurses will face potential sanctions that could include the loss of their nursing licenses through the Ohio Board of Nursing.

This nurse is scheduled for arraignment Dec. 7 in Warren County Common Pleas Court.

Fornshell said her status was unknown.

While working as a nurse at the Cedarview Nursing Home in Lebanon, she is accused of theft of hydrocodone on Aug. 23. “She was literally pocketing them,” Fornshell alleged. Three counts of illegal processing of drug documents allege she falsely reported administering the drugs. “The patients didn’t get their medications,” the prosecutor said.
