An Ambulance Director in Carlisle County is facing numerous charges after a narcotics investigation.

On Thursday, an employee with the Carlisle County Ambulance Service contacted deputies to report what they believed to be suspicious activity from the Carlisle County Ambulance Service Ambulance Director, 36-year-old John Curtis.

The employee claimed that Curtis has been acting strangely, leading the employee to believe that there may be a drug problem. The employee was also concerned with the lack of Fentanyl supply at the ambulance service.

Deputies performed an investigation of the medical supplies at the ambulance service, and reportedly found that their supply didn't match what should have been in storage there.

Deputies interviewed Curtis, and he reportedly admitted to stealing and using narcotics from the ambulance service.

Curtis is being charged with sixteen counts of theft of a controlled substance, sixteen counts of possession of a controlled substance, and sixteen counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.

The investigation is ongoing, and more charges may be added.
