A Cape Cod nurse is accused of falsifying medical records to steal oxycodone from a Boston healthcare facility.
Licensed Practical Nurse Kaitlin Tipton of West Yarmouth is charged with drug larceny and drug obtained by fraud.
Investigators claim she diverted the pills by not documenting doses, removing more medication than ordered by doctors, and making false entries on dates when she was not working.
She has been released on personal recognizance and is due back in court on September 10th.
