WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) - A Pennsylvania hospice nurse already charged with stealing a dying cancer patient’s pain medication is now also charged with conspiring to make methamphetamine with a man she lives with.
The Citizens’ Voice in Wilkes-Barre (WILKS’-ba-ree) reports (https://bit.ly/2bSGwZz) Andrea Gosiewski (goh-SHES’-kee) was charged Thursday with conspiring with 50-year-old Jeffrey Arnott to make the powerful stimulant in the Ashley home they shared. Neither has a defense attorney on the new charges, and both remained in the Luzerne County jailed Friday.
The 39-year-old nurse was charged after police found her unconscious in a vehicle outside a drugstore Monday with a bag of liquid hydromorphone and a used syringe.
Authorities claim Gosiewski stole the leftover painkilling medication at least five times and used it to get high, saying she needed it for neck pain.
