An intensive care unit nurse at J.F.K. Medical Center in Atlantis is facing drug charges in St. Lucie County.
The sheriff’s office arrested 36-year-old Amanda E. Ingersoll of Port St. Lucie. They accuse her of selling prescription morphine drugs without a license.
“We believe that she stole the drugs from her employer and then sold them in various forms and quantities,” said St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken J. Mascara in a statement.
The sheriff’s office charged her with two counts of selling or distributing an opium or opium derivative, two counts of dispensing drugs without a prescription, one count of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
She was booked into the St. Lucie County Jail.
