Drug Diversion in news from Google News
Marcia A. Conlon, 42, of Albion is charged with second-degree forgery, falsifying business records, fourth-degree criminal diversion of prescription medication, petit larceny and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
The indictment accuses Conlon of stealing a prescription from an office at Iroquois Job Corp in April 2015. She worked at the corp at the time. She allegedly forged the student’s name and filled the prescription, using the drugs for herself.
Conlon is currently serving a one-year term in Orleans County Jail imposed in August for violating probation by using prescription drugs and alcohol and failing to tell officers she traveled to Monroe County.
Conlon was on probation for a 2014 felony DWI by drugs conviction in Orleans County and for a 2012 conviction in Yates County for forging prescriptions to obtain painkillers. Conlon worked as a nurse at Thompson Hospital in Candandaigua at the time of the thefts, according to an article in the Finger Lakes Times.
“This was situational,” Conlon said when she was sentenced to community service in 2012. “I am working very hard to better myself and will continue to do so.”
Conlon was suspended from being a registered nurse for five years, according to Department of Health and Human Services.
