CINCINNATI (AP) — A woman who had been in and out of drug rehab is accused of stealing syringes, drugs and other medical equipment from two unattended ambulances parked outside a hospital, police said.
Leann Kidd, 22, was arrested by University of Cincinnati police Saturday night after an officer said he saw Kidd walking near University Hospital with a plastic bag containing medical supplies.
Drivers don’t always lock the doors on ambulances when they run into the hospital, said police Capt. Karen Patterson.
Kidd was charged with two counts of theft and released without bail Monday.
Drugs stolen from the ambulances included Benadryl, an over-the-counter antihistamine, and other nonprescription drugs, Patterson said.
