Jefferson County Nurse Charged after Stealing Pills from Patient, Sheriff’s Office Says

Jefferson City, TN (WOKI) An in-home nurse in Jefferson City is facing several charges after authorities say she stole medication from one of her patients.

Officials with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office say 47-year-old Sally Hensley was charged Friday with theft, burglary and neglect of an elderly or vulnerable adult after security camera footage provided by the patient showed Hensley pocketing approximately 15 hydrocodone pills.

The patient had alerted authorities about missing medication earlier in the week.

JCSO says they don’t think this was an isolated event and encourages any patient with similar circumstances involving this nurse to contact Det./Sgt. Jonathan Owens at 866-397-9411 ext. 1106.”
