Spencer Woman Charged With Stealing Medications

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013 -- 8:25 AM

-A Spencer woman has been charged for stealing medications from an Abbotsford nursing home.

Patricia Pokallus, age 51, was charged with one felony count of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud. Her nursing license was also suspended.

Pokallus allegedly took lorazepam from the Golden Living Center-Continental Manor in Abbotsford for personal use back in February. This was allegedly one of several instances of this happening.

The living center began an investigation into the incident when they noticed Pokallus had noted that she had administered the drug to residents that don?t even take that medication. Pokallus was questioned and, when she admitted to the crime, she was tested for lorazepam and it came back positive. She was immediately fired.

Pokallus must also enter a treatment program, abstain from controlled substances unless prescribed and submit to periodic testing. She could also practice nursing again if she applys for and is granted a stay of suspension. However, she would not be able to have access to controlled substances.
