Moores Hill Woman Sentenced After Accused Of Stealing Prescriptions

The accusations were made in June at Manderley Healthcare.

(Ripley Co., Ind.) - 53-year-old, Rhonda Ison, was sentenced on Wednesday, November 20, after allegedly stealing nearly 200 prescription pills from Manderley Healthcare in Osgood. 

In June, while working as the Director of Nursing at Manderley Healthcare in Osgood, Ison was accused of taking prescription pills, including Hydrocodone and Oxycontin. 

Family members that own and operate Manderley Healthcare testified the details of the crime. 

It was captured on camera in the nursing home that Ison took 190 prescription pain pills and falsifying paperwork that indicated she had destroyed them pursuant to proper procedure. 

The pills that had been left for destruction belonged to patients who had recently passed away prior to those pills being distributed. 

Ison pled guilty and was sentenced by Ripley County Superior Court to 2 years in jail and 6 months of probation. 

She was charged with Failure to Make, Keep, or Furnish Records of the Dispensing and/or Destruction of a Controlled Substance (Level 6 Felony) and Theft (Class A Misdemeanor).
