While on medical leave in March and April 2012, Kellermann used his employee key code to enter the company after hours, deactivate the alarm and steal narcotic pain medication for his personal use, prosecutors said. Kellermann removed the plastic top of vials containing hydromorphone and morphine, inserted syringes into the vials, and withdrew drugs from the vials. He then injected saline into the vials and placed a small amount of glue on top of the vials to reattach the plastic caps. He also took painkillers from IV bags, according to the charges against him. And he apparently used “wasted drugs,” the term health care facilities use for prescribed drugs for patients who no longer need them.
