ASHEVILLE — A registered nurse from Asheville’s Mission Hospital had her first court appearance yesterday after the State Bureau of Investigation arrested her Friday on charges of stealing fentanyl from her employer.

Meg Elizabeth Eisenhower, 42, of Fairview, was charged with three counts of felonious embezzlement of a controlled substance by an employee of a registrant during the months of April, May and June of 2017. 

Eisenhower worked in Mission Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit’s Neuro-Trauma where it is alleged she diverted liquid fentanyl. She was released from custody on a $50,000 unsecured bond.
