MN Nurse Stole Pain Meds Sell And For Personal Use: Feds

ST. PAUL, MN — A registered nurse is accused of stealing prescription opioid pain medications from a hospice clinic, U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger announced Wednesday.

Cambie Elizabeth Broker, 33, made her initial appearance Wednesday in U.S. District Court before Magistrate Judge Micko.

Broker worked as a registered nurse case manager at a hospice clinic in Baxter, Minnesota, according to authorities. She entered false prescription requests into the clinic’s e-prescribing software to fraudulently obtain oxycodone, hydromorphone, and fentanyl for illegal sale and personal use, investigators said.

The case is the result of an investigation conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Bradley M. Endicott is prosecuting the case.
