Pharmacy technician under investigation
A pharmacy technician is being investigated for
the thefts of various controlled substances in the
past year, according to the St. Joseph Police Department.
Officers arrested the 32-year-old woman Wednesday
night at the Kmart Pharmacy, 3909 S. Belt Highway,
said Cmdr. Jim Connors, police spokesman. The woman
told officers she had ingested pills and was taken

She was detained overnight at the Law Enforcement

Criminal charges are pending, as the incident still
