A former WakeMed Hospital nurse is charged with embezzling oxycodone from the hospital from late January through the beginning of July.
S. L. Dockus, 43, who lives in Holly Springs, turned herself in Monday at the Wake County Detention Center after hospital police swore out a warrant accusing her of embezzlement of a controlled substance by an employee of a company licensed to have it.
The warrant stated that Dockus took “numerous dosage units” of the drug oxycodone, converting it to her own use.
The charge does not specify what police believe Dockus did with the oxycodone they say she stole.
A spokeswoman for the WakeMed network said Dockus worked at the Raleigh campus from January 2010 until this month.
When she was booked before being released on bail, Dockus told officials she currently worked for Wake County, but county officials were not able to immediately verify that.
