Man who stole pharmacy drugs gets probation

COUNCIL BLUFFS — A Nebraska man has been given two years of probation for stealing prescription painkillers while working at a pharmacy in Council Bluffs.

Court records show 24-year-old Justin Gardner, of Omaha, pleaded guilty Monday to possession for sale. Prosecutors dropped two other counts in exchange. Gardner was granted a deferred judgment. Under a deferred judgment, the conviction will be removed from Gardner’s record if he successfully completes the terms of his probation.
