Lisa Tarr, 33, of St. Petersburg, Fla., was sentenced to five years of probation, with the first year being spent in home detention, the US Attorney for Massachusetts said. Tarr pleaded guilty last year to four counts of unlawfully obtaining controlled substances by fraud, deception, and subterfuge.
Tarr was a student nurse at a Boston-area hospital in August 2018, where she told investigators she stole and injected herself with fentanyl, the prosecutor said. She also admitted to stealing an infusion bag containing fentanyl that belonged to a patient at another hospital in 2020.
Tarr also stole multiple syringes of hydromorphone from a locked drug cabinet at the same hospital, the prosecutor said.
