BOZEMAN \u2014 A traveling nurse faces charges of theft and exploitation of a vulnerable adult after administrators at the Gallatin Rest Home say someone tampered with and stole Ozempic medication belonging to a resident.<\/p>\n
Venetia Alaniz is accused of stealing the medication, which is used by only one resident at the facility.<\/p>\n
Administrators say the first theft happened in June. In July, an entire Ozempic injector pen went missing and another was tampered with. The tampered medication is valued at more than $1,500.<\/p>\n
Investigators placed a hidden camera in the medication closet. Video from the camera reportedly shows Alaniz taking an object shaped like an injection pen out of the refrigerator.<\/p>\n
Law enforcement questioned Alaniz on Monday, August 24, 2026. Investigators say she changed her story multiple times.<\/p>\n
Alaniz is scheduled to appear in Gallatin County Justice Court Tuesday, August 25, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BOZEMAN \u2014 A traveling nurse faces charges of theft and exploitation of a vulnerable adult after administrators at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":825960,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[97,243],"class_list":["post-825959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-medication","tag-health","tag-medication"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=825959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/825960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=825959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=825959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=825959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
