(Providence, RI) -- A nurse employed at the Providence VA Medical Center is facing charges for allegedly tampering with and stealing prescription opioids. The U.S. Justice Department says Jared Scott of West Warwick pleaded not guilty in federal court in Providence on Tuesday to a federal grand jury indictment charging him with stealing liquid opioids for his own personal use and replacing them with saline. Scott faces up to ten years in prison on the charge of tampering with a consumer product and four years for fraudulently obtaining a controlled substance if convicted.
