Wisconsin Veterans Home Nurse Accused Of Stealing Pain Meds

A former nurse at the Wisconsin Veterans Home in King is charged with stealing pain medications.  Forty-one-year-old Alicia Krisher-Behm was hired last March.  V-A Home workers contacted authorities about prescription drug thefts.  They reported Krisher-Behm was working an overnight shift January 19th when a patient received two unscheduled maximum doses of oxycodone.  She noted the patient had complained of shoulder pain.  When nurses checked, that patient was awake and alert and reported no excessive pain for several days.  Police say they suspect she has an opioid addiction which led to the thefts.
