Home health aide accused of stealing Geauga County patient’s prescription

HAMBDEN TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WOIO) - Geauga County prosecutors said a home health aide was indicted earlier this month for stealing his patient’s prescription.

Prosecutors said the suspect, identified as Khiairre Spooney-Lewis, 20, of Akron, is charged with theft of drugs.

Spooney-Lewis was reportedly tasked with caring for a Hambden Township resident who was recovering from surgery.

Instead, prosecutors said he took the victim’s prescribed oxycodone.

Prosecutors said Spooney-Lewis admitted the theft to Geauga County deputies during an interview.

Records show a county grand jury indicted the Akron man on Oct. 15. He is due for arraignment on Nov. 14.
