MINOT, N.D. – A registered nurse faces a series of felony charges on accusations she stole pharmaceuticals from an assisted living home in Stanley.
State prosecutors have accused 51-year-old Karen Evans of stealing 13 Percocet tablets from the Bethel Home in Stanley, where she works as a nurse.
Prosecutors say that between May and August of 2016, Evans logged out the pills but did not administer them to the residents.
Percocet is a popular brand name for a pain reliever made up of acetaminophen and oxycodone.
Evans is charged with ten counts of acquiring a controlled substance by misrepresentation, and faces up to five years on each charge.
She is out on bail and will appear for her arraignment Feb. 9.
We reached out to Bethel Home for comment, and are waiting to hear back.
