Break-in reported at Rocky Boy Clinic, drugs taken

The FBI and Rocky Boy Police are investigating a break-in at the reservation pharmacy.

Two intruders allegedly broke into the health clinic and stole several medications.

The police could not be reached for comment, but Misty Denny, chief information officer with the Rocky Boy Health Clinic, said that the break-in occurred between 1:30 and 4:30 am Saturday.

Denny said that the perpetrators were wearing masks.

"We think the door was kicked in," Denny said. "They spent three hours in the facility."

Several medications were stolen from the scene.

Denny said the medications stolen were in both pill and liquid form, as well as intravenous drugs meant to treat those with heart problems and other serious medical ailments.

"If they were consumed in any way they could cause life-threatening problems for the person consuming them, and could even be deadly," said Denny of the medications in a statement posted Rocky Boy Health Board's Facebook page.

"The pills that were stolen could also could also make a person sick, or cause death," the statement said.

The Health Board advises anyone who comes into contact with liquid medications or pills not in a prescription bottle or who find that someone is trying to distribute these drugs, to call reservation police.

Because of the break-in, the Health Board said the clinic won't open until noon Monday.

More details will be reported as they become available.
