CAMAS, Wash — Federal prosecutors have charged a Southwest Washington paramedic accused of swapping painkillers with tap water. In a criminal complaint filed Wednesday, prosecutors contend Camas paramedic Bradley C. Allen admitted to siphoning the prescription painkiller Fentanyl out of pre-loaded syringes, then refilling them with tap water. He’s been charged with product tampering.
The thefts were discovered May 7 by other paramedics examining drugs stored in an ambulance, according to the criminal complaint.
They noticed safety seals on the drug vials appeared to have been broken.
