Allison Derwinis, 28, was sentenced to seven years in the Missouri Department of Corrections on two counts of stealing controlled substance, seven years on three counts of possession of controlled substance, seven years for one count of forgery, four years for harassment first degree, and 30 days jail on a misdemeanor count of abuse of an elderly person. All sentences will be served concurrently. The sentences were pronounced on March 10 by Judge Ryan Horsman.
Derwinis pled guilty in January. She was charged Oct. 12 after she was pulled over for speeding and failure to stop at a stop sign in Gallatin. Controlled substances were located during a consent search of the vehicle by Daviess County Deputy Dalton Youtsey. Derwinis admitted to stealing Lorazepam from a resident at Daviess County Nursing and Rehab where she was employed. She later admitted to replacing another patient’s Hydromorphone medication with allergy pills so she could take them unnoticed.
Derwinis was also charged with the harassment of a Daviess County local through private messaging only hours after being released on bond from Daviess-DeKalb Regional Jail. Derwinis worked at the nursing home from Sept. 23 until her arrest on Oct. 11.
