Former UCDAVIS vet school employee arrested for embezzlement in California

FROM THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE:

Police on Thursday arrested a former employee of the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital for allegedly stealing more than $10,000 in pet medications from the pharmacy, then reselling them.

Emily Ramos of Woodland surrendered at the Yolo County Jail at 10 a.m., having been accused of 38 counts of embezzlement. She was released after posting a $20,000 bond.
Ramos worked as a pharmacy technician from July 2001 until quitting in December 2010, according to a UCD news release. She is due to be arraigned in Yolo County Superior Court on June 24.
In response to the investigation, UCD said the hospital has taken steps to improve documentation of non-controlled substances, reduce inventory, limit after-hours access to the pharmacy and see that staff are escorted while in the pharmacy.
