Former surgical technologist Rocky Allen broke a judge’s trust when he took a vacation with family on his way to an Oregon prison to begin serving a 6 1/2-year sentence for stealing powerful painkillers from Swedish Medical Center in Englewood.

On Thursday, Allen stood before that judge and pleaded guilty to felony criminal contempt of court. U.S. District Judge Raymond Moore sentenced him to an additional year in prison.

On Nov. 7, Moore sentenced Allen to 6 1/2 years in prison and allowed him to self report to the Oregon prison to begin his sentence. But when Allen asked if he could visit his family in Idaho before reporting to prison, the judge denied the request.

On Thursday, Allen, dressed in a tan prison jump suit, told Moore, “I honestly didn’t know I couldn’t go through Idaho … I agree I went against the order of the court and I should be punished for that but I had no intent to be malicious.”

That may have been the worst thing he could tell the judge.

“What you told me is a load of crap,” Moore said. “That is pathetic, a lie and ridiculous …You are going to sell that nonsense to me?”

Allen, who repeatedly stole fentanyl from Swedish patients, didn’t show up to the Federal Correctional Institution in Sheridan, Ore., on Nov. 23 as planned, according to a federal court record. On Dec. 2, Allen’s probation officer called the prison and learned that Allen wasn’t there. He then called Allen, who confessed that he was at his sister’s house in Idaho visiting family against Moore’s order, court records say.

“What he wanted to do was to have a little vacation before he went to prison … Every single day you stayed out it was a new violation of the court order. Every single day,” said Moore, who raised his voice. “There is a brashness. There is a boldness to violating a court order.”

Moore said Allen was expected to immediately travel to the Oregon prison as quickly as possible and yet it took him nine days.

“I could walk to Sheridan (Oregon) in nine days. Well — maybe 12 days because I used to smoke,” Moore said.

Allen pleaded guilty in July to a two-count drug theft indictment related to his theft of a syringe in January while on the job at Swedish.

Allen was court-martialed in 2011 while enlisted in the Navy and stationed at a hospital in Kandahar, Afghanistan, after he admitted to stealing vials of fentanyl. He was fired from at least five health care facilities in California, Arizona and Washington before Swedish hired him in August 2015.

Allen was able to continue to find jobs in the health care field by lying about his addiction, drug thefts and work history, prosecutors said in court filings. Swedish fired him after he was caught swapping out a saline syringe to steal a fentanyl syringe from the hospital. Hundreds of patients were tested for possible contamination.
