A former Bryan West employee was arrested Thursday for stealing fentanyl from the hospital, Lincoln Police said.

LPD said a former registered nurse, Krista Morgan, 30, stole 2 ML bottles of fentanyl citrate.

Hospital employees noticed the drugs were missing during an inventory check on January 12.

Morgan had ended her employment with the hospital shortly prior to the discovery, according to authorities.

Police said on March 29 they contacted Morgan about the stolen fentanyl, and she was arrested and lodged for acquiring a controlled substance by theft.
