Is the EMT privately employed? If he works for the government (e.g., hospital district, city or county), it might be abuse of official capacity (39.02). If the EMT doesn't work for the government, and depending on what drugs he stole, it might also be possession of a dangerous drug (H&S 483.041), but then again, that would probably be within the "possession" milieu you're looking to get out of, right?

Not sure about whether the agency he works for is Govt. or private but will find out. As for the drug, I'm waiting to hear what penalty group it is (Nambien if anyone knows off the top of their head). Both the Poss CS and Abuse would be out of DA's office. For some reason I had it in my head that theft of drugs was different than the normal theft, but not sure where I got that or why I think it. Just seems that Class B is a little low. This makes me think of another Q. The value assessed to the drugs? What the Hospital or EMT Agency paid for it or what it would be billed at if administered? (pretty sure can't use street value, whatever that may be)
