A former URMC nurse is facing criminal impersonation and felony drug possession charges for allegedly impersonating a nurse and stealing drugs.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced the charges today against 34-year-old Siobhan Pollock.
An investigation launched by the NYS Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, revealed that Pollock, who had recently been fired from the hospital, returned there wearing her hospital scrubs and allegedly convinced another nurse to give her a syringe of Dialudid; a form of hydromorphone.
Authorities say she then took the syringe into a bathroom, removed the narcotic, and refilled the syringe with tap water, then returned the syringe.
