(HAMILTON CO.) - Officers from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Hamilton Heights School Corporation custodian Tuesday on theft and drug related charges.
WTHR reports that 52-year-old Nancy Teresa Jasper of Cicero was employed as a night custodian at Hamilton Heights Primary School.
Sheriff Deputies became involved after a School Resource Officer took a report of the theft of student medications from a locked medicine cabinet in the nurse's office at the school in early March. Further investigation into the theft uncovered the additional thefts of medication from at least three students at the school over the course of a two week period.
Jasper, who was on-duty during the times of the alleged thefts, was arrested. Deputies stated Jasper was in possession of narcotics and amphetamines allegedly stolen from the nurse's office, as well as a key to the medicine cabinet when she was taken into custody.
Jasper was initially charged with five counts of A Misdemeanor Theft, and two counts of Level 6 Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance.
She was taken to the Hamilton County Jail where she later was released on a $7,500 bond.
