A grand jury has indicted a former director of a nursing home in the Montgomery area as part of a drug theft investigation. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has announced that Tiffany Alexander Fields, 45, has been indicted on nine counts. Fields, who was the director of a nursing home, is accused of stealing over 1,000 hydrocodone tablets.
According to the indictment, Fields is accused of taking 114 to 120 tablets from the nursing home’s contract pharmacy on nine different occasions. She allegedly did this by submitting fake prescriptions in the name of the facility’s residents and keeping the tablets for herself.
If convicted, the theft of any controlled substance is classified as second-degree property theft, a Class C felony. Those found guilty may face imprisonment for a period ranging from one to ten years and a fine of up to $15,000.
Fields turned herself in at the Montgomery County Detention Facility on Thursday and was subsequently released on $50,000 bail.
According to Marshall, the nursing home complaint was referred to the attorney general’s Medicaid fraud control unit by the Alabama Department of Public Health. The case was presented to the Montgomery County grand jury in November 2023.
