What Happened
A pharmacy intern was found to have stolen a stock bottle of phentermine 37.5 mg tablets, a Schedule IV controlled substance, from the employer pharmacy.
The intern admitted taking the bottle home and denied being addicted to dangerous drugs. The Board removed an earlier summary suspension and indefinitely suspended the pharmacy intern license, with conditions for possible reinstatement.
What the Record Shows

Why It Matters for Diversion Programs
This entry comes from a primary source rather than a federal enforcement release, and it is recorded as reported: stole a stock bottle of phentermine from the employer pharmacy; admitted taking the bottle home. 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.
