A former nurse at Onslow Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville is behind bars, accused of embezzling a slew of pain medications while on the job.
April Lenora Locklear, 35 years-old, is accused of stealing 463 ampules of hydromorphone -- or opium, as well as several dosages of injectable opium. She's charged with six felony counts of drug trafficking.
Warrants obtained by WITN show the alleged incidents have been taking place for the past six months on the job.
Locklear is currently in the Onslow County jail under a $100,000 bond.

I agree with Ashley....this was just plain stupid on the nurse's part. I do wonder, as these are controlled substances, did she pocket doses meant for patients in need, or did she just falsify the records with non-existent patients???

How stupid this person worked hard to become a nurse and threw it all away over some pills.

Why bother with this story, she will get a good lawyer, probably paid for by the state & she might have to pick up trash in the courthouse for a few days!!!
