Comment on Nurse charged with illegally obtaining patients’ drugs

Daily Journal A Senatobia woman is facing charges she took controlled substances away from patients, Attorney General Jim Hood announced today. Samantha Livingston, 27, allegedly committed the crimes while working as a nurse at a rehab facility in Byhalia. She turned herself into authorities today and was indicted by a Marshall County Grand Jury on two counts of acquiring or obtaining possession of a controlled substance or prescription “by misrepresentation, fraud and the like.” The indictment alleges Livingston signed out approximately 40 hydrocodone pills with acetaminophen, which were prescribed to two patients at the facility, and converted those pills for her own use. She has been released from Marshall County Jail after posting a $5,000 bond.
