LYNDEN, Wash. – A former employee at Lynden Manor was arrested after stealing a resident’s opioid pain medication.
Court documents state that Department of Social and Health Services investigators responded to the incident last November.
A manager at Lynden Manor reported that 34-year-old Allyson Allen admitted to stealing oxycodone from the patient and replacing it with seizure medication.
Investigators found that Allen had stolen 31 pills from a packet in the resident’s room.
She said she didn’t think the resident was given the seizure medication.
Allen is being charged with felony prescription fraud.
