What Happened
In October 2025, a licensed practical nurse at Simpsonville Post Acute in Greenville County, South Carolina, was charged with one count of a controlled substance, first offense.
The attorney general's Vulnerable Adults and Medicaid Provider Fraud unit alleged the nurse knowingly and intentionally took a quantity of oxycodone from a resident of the facility. The facility reported the conduct to law enforcement and cooperated with the investigation. The charge is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $5,000, or both.

Why It Matters for Diversion Programs
This entry comes from a news source rather than a federal enforcement release, and it is recorded as reported: Allegedly knowingly and intentionally took a quantity of oxycodone from a resident.. Board and news records are a lagging indicator - by the time a licensing authority or a reporter learns of a diversion, the diversion was normally detected internally first, which makes each entry a signal that inventory reconciliation, waste observation or dispensing oversight failed earlier.
