Nurse Arrested Following Accusations of Stealing Medication

A Jacksonville nurse was arrested and accused of stealing medication from an employer for a second time.

The nurse appeared in court on September 10, 2022, after being arrested the prior day while working at UF Health Jacksonville. She was charged with one count of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud.

The judge set the nurse bond at $50,003 and ordered the nurse to wear a drug patch, which a source told us is used to absorb sweat and allows authorities to check for drugs in her system.

When the nurse was arrested at work, she was already out of jail on bond following a July arrest in Clay County on charges of stealing medication at Orange Park Medical Center, where she worked in the emergency room.

Investigators in the Clay County case said the medication she stole was meant for patients suffering pain.

The JSO arrest report, which details the allegation against the nurse, was not available despite confirmation that she was booked into the Duval County jail around 1:30 p.m. on September 10, 2022.
