Additional charges have been filed against a nurse who fled from law enforcement officers earlier this month following a traffic stop.Mountain Home Police Chief Carry Manual says officers from his department responded to a complaint of an intoxicated driver on July 16. When they located the vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop, the driver refused to stop, and a short pursuit ensued.

The driver, 32-year-old Geneva Liveley of Dora, was apprehended and taken into custody. An inventory of the vehicle revealed numerous prescription medications belonging to other individuals, a loaded firearm, drug paraphernalia and cash totaling $1,110.

Liveley was charged with simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, possession of a controlled substance (Hydrocodone), both felony counts, as well as misdemeanor charges. She later posted bond and was released from jail.

Chief Manuel says an investigation began into Liveley’s possession of prescription medications belonging to other individuals. It was learned she worked at a local nursing home and stole medications from residents. The medications in her possession were logged by her as being received by the residents.

On July 17, investigators served a search warrant on her still impounded vehicle and found evidence of additional thefts of medication from the nursing home.

Liveley was arrested again on Tuesday and charged with four felony counts of controlled substances-fraudulent practices and six misdemeanor offenses. She was incarcerated in the Baxter County Detention Center and released the same day after posting a $5,000 bond.

The name of the nursing facility was not provided in the police department report.

Liveley’s attorney entered a not guilty plea to the latest charges in her behalf Thursday in Baxter County Circuit Court. She was ordered to reappear on August 10.
