Drug theft: A Bainbridge woman was arrested for stealing
prescription drugs from her employer, a pharmacy on High School
Road. The suspect had been confronted and detained by her manager
and a loss prevention investigator. The investigator told police
that 100 appetite suppressant pills were missing and had not been
given out through a prescription. The suspect, who works at the
pharmacy as a prescription tech, admitted she’d been stealing and
consuming the pills. She said she takes the pills in an effort to
boost her energy. She also indicated she’d taken more than 200
pills. The pharmacy suspended the suspect and will likely fire her.
Total losses for the pharmacy were estimated at $822.70.
