In January, T. Wotring, 36, of Bruceton Mills, West Virginia, was a flight medic whose responsibilities included being responsible for a safety pouch containing numerous controlled substances. The general manager of Tri-State allegedly performed an audit in January, discovering that a secured bag had its lock broken, and all six drugs kept inside — morphine, fentanyl, and four bottles of midazolam — were stolen and replaced with another substance. The replacement substance was not immediately identified in police reports, but it was being analyzed.
Wotring allegedly failed to document the use of the substances involved and was the only person in the ambulance with access to them. When questioned by police in March, Wotring denied involvement with the tampering.
Wotring faces six felony counts of obtaining controlled substances by fraud, for which she was arrested on March 21. She posted $15,000 bond and is awaiting her preliminary hearing on April 15 before Magistrate Thomas Wood.
