LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A woman has been given probation and 87 days in jail for stealing painkillers when she worked at a Lincoln hospital.
Lancaster County District Court records say 31-year-old Krista Morgan was sentenced to two years of probation and fined $1,000 at a hearing Tuesday. She’d pleaded guilty to intentionally violating narcotic drug law.
Prosecutors say she stole several bottles of fentanyl citrate from Bryan Health’s West Campus hospital while working there as a nurse. Fentanyl citrate is an opioid painkiller.
