Mount Trexler Manor Nurse Admits to Stealing 60 Oxycodone Pills from Patient

Upper Saucon detective Joe Pochron was called to Mount Trexlor Manor, a residential care facility in Limeport when employees contacted the department about possible Oxycodone theft. The 90 pills were to be destroyed after a doctor discontinued a patient’s use of the drug. Mark Bober, an RN at Mount Trexler, signed forms confirming that he had destroyed all 90 pills.

Within the day, employees came forward alleging that Bober had not destroyed the pills and had, in fact, “removed the Oxycodone from Mount Trexler Manor. Employees had taken pictures of two trays, or 60 pills, in Bober’s desk drawer. In addition, an employee had used a cell phone camera to record Bober removing two trays of pills and placing them “in what appeared to be his personal bag.”

On Jan. 21, Bober brought in for questioning. Bober waived his Miranda Rights and admitted he had not destroyed all 90 pills and had kept them for “personal use.” Bober then turned over all 60 pills to detective Pochron.
