A Montgomery County (Ohio) sheriff's officer has been charged with stealing drugs from the county jail pharmacy. Sheriff Dave Vore said recently that Sgt. Timothy V. Powell was placed on administrative leave following his arrest February 21. Powell, 31, was booked into Montgomery County Jail but was released on his own recognizance later in the day. He is charged with theft, Vore said. 'It's absolutely disheartening,' Vore said. 'Especially a sergeant, a supervisor.' Powell was hired as a sheriff's deputy in 1996. He was promoted to sergeant in August 2002. A jail paramedic, who was not identified, also was placed on administrative leave but has not been charged, Vore said. He declined to comment on the reason for the discipline, but said an employee could be placed on leave for office policy violations. The jail employs about 10 paramedics, who are responsible for dispensing medication, said Maj. Gary Drummer, the jail's warden. The jail audits drug supplies twice each day, Drummer said. The theft was discovered during an audit February 21, Vore said. |
