Stone was indicted May 18 on three counts of theft of drugs and three counts of possession of drugs. According to a January letter from the Ohio Board of Pharmacy suspending her registered pharmacy technician license, Stone was recorded on surveillance video on or about Jan. 5 stealing one and two milligram tablets of lorazepam from the Rite Aid Pharmacy at 437 N. Wolf Creek St.
Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine, a nervous system depressant, used to treat anxiety with a potential for abuse and addiction.
The letter said that she admitted in a Jan. 10 interview to taking three to five tablets two to three days each week from stock bottles, for a total of at least 216 tablets between May 1, 2023 and Jan. 6.
