GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A former Green Bay school district employee has been formally charged with stealing students’ medication from school offices.
Court records show that 25-year-old Cameron Drake is facing misdemeanor counts of theft and drug possession. Drake was released on a signature bond following a court appearance earlier this month. No court date is currently listed in online court records.
District officials say they first noticed student’s pills were missing from one school in February. An internal investigation morphed into a police investigation, and pills were eventually found to be missing at 8 elementary schools.
According to prosecutors, hidden cameras were setup on the medicine cabinets at the elementary schools once the district discovered pills were missing. Medication was missing from Keller, McAuliffe, Webster, Eisenhower, Tank, Jefferson, Baird, and Fort Howard elementary schools. A variety of pills were taken; however, Adderall was one of the primary medications missing.
Drake worked in facilities and related services, according to the Green Bay Area Public School District. He was originally placed on leave, but the district has since terminated his employment, according spokeswoman Lori Blakeslee.
