The November terminations of two Crawford County Public Health nurses has taken another twist.
Former Head Nurse Gloria Wall, 69, was charged in Crawford County Circuit Court on Feb. 13, with one count of dispensing a prescription drug without a practitioner’s order, and one count of possession of an illegally obtained prescription.
Both counts are misdemeanors. Wall faces up to a year in jail and fines totaling $1,000 if convicted of both counts.
According to the criminal complaint, the investigation into Wall began on Oct. 20, 2017, two days after Wall and nurse Judy Powell were escorted out of the Crawford County Administration Building and placed on paid suspension.
