UMC employee arrested for theft from hospital

A 33-year-old University Medical Center employee, Keisha Jones, has been arrested and charged with stealing up to $109,000 from the hospital.

Jones, who worked in the hospital's Lied Pediatric Center, was arrested on Wednesday after an undercover investigation. Metro Police Criminal Intelligence Section arrested Jones on one count of burglary and one count of felony theft.

Hospital representatives contacted the police earlier this week after an internal audit revealed that Jones might be responsible for the thefts from January 2007 until the present.

Jones has been booked into the Clark County Detention center, police said. The investigation continues and more charges may be brought, police said.
