Kettering Health Police began an investigation after nursing supervisors at Kettering Health Main suspected that Heffron, who was a registered nurse, was stealing narcotics, said Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office public information officer Greg Flannagan.
Police found fentanyl in his locker, said Flannagan who added that Heffron was accused of taking the drugs from IVs and replacing it with saline.
He said that there was no dollar amount associated with the missing drugs.
Kettering Health said in a statement, “Tyler Heffron is no longer employed by Kettering Health. We continue to keep patient safety as our top priority as we deliver high-quality care for our communities.”
Heffron’s nursing license is inactive, according to the Ohio Board of Nursing website.
