An employee in the radiology department at Mary Rutan Hospital was arrested Thursday, Dec. 5, while on shift on an out-of-county warrant and later charged with an additional felony drug offense following an investigation by officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department.
Becky Snavley, 48, of Cloverdale, was taken into custody on a theft warrant issued by the Findlay Municipal Court.
The arrest occurred at approximately 9:19 p.m. after officers located her vehicle in the hospital parking lot and confirmed her location inside the facility.
Officers on patrol entered the hospital and worked with hospital security to locate Snavley in the radiology department. She was informed of the active warrant, and it was confirmed through the Findlay Police Department.
Snavley was placed under arrest without incident. A search of her belongings turned up medications prescribed to a deceased relative for whom Snavley had been the primary caregiver and held power of attorney.
Among the medications were approximately 65 Alprazolam pills, 31 broken Alprazolam tablets, 30 Oxycodone pills, 86 Hydroxide pills and one unidentified yellow pill. Most medications were prescribed to her late aunt. Snavley had a valid prescription for 11 Tramadol pills found in her possession.
Snavley explained to officers that her aunt had passed away a month earlier and said she had not disposed of the medications since her death. Officers also discovered miscellaneous cards belonging to her late aunt and another individual in her belongings.
Following the search and investigation, Snavley was transported to the Logan County Jail without incident. In addition to the theft warrant, she was charged with possession of a controlled substance, a felony of the fifth degree.
