(MUNCIE) - An anesthesiologist is accused of stealing narcotics from the Muncie hospital where he worked and of taking part in medical procedures while on those drugs.
The Muncie Star Press reports 51-year-old Jose Ramos was arrested Wednesday at his Fort Wayne home and was charged with four felony counts of possession of a narcotic drug, four misdemeanor counts of theft and two misdemeanor counts of criminal recklessness.
Ramos was being held in the Delaware County Jail on a $32,000 bond. Court records do not indicate he has hired an attorney.
Delaware County Prosecutor Jeffrey Arnold issued a press release indicating the arrest followed "an intensive eight-month investigation" by the DEA and his office. Ramos took a leave from IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie in October.
