Narcotics Go Missing From Solon Nursing Home
Detectives are investigating the whereabouts of 14 oxycodone pills gone missing after a drug shipment
Earlier this month, a nurse at Solon Pointe at Emerald Ridge received a shipment of 56 oxycodone pills divided into four packs.
The problem is that, according to police, the nurse did not properly inventory the drugs, and one of the pill packs has disappeared.
The assisted living center and nursing home, located at 5625 Emerald Ridge Parkway, reported the missing drugs on April 11.

Police say the nurse who resigned is not the same one that botched the inventory.
