ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Authorities are looking for Pamela Niland for allegedly dumping two hazardous waste bins into a Dumpster behind a construction company's building.
Deputies said they believe Niland is the woman caught on a surveillance camera getting out of a maroon sport utility vehicle and opening the rear hatch, only to remove a garbage bag containing two red biohazard containers.
Authorities said the containers contained used needles, blood and vials of medicine and drugs. Police reports said that once authorities made contact with Niland, she claimed to have been fired from Flagler Hospital in September for allegedly stealing narcotics from the hospital.
Police reports said the construction company's owner saw the SUV in the rear of the building and became suspicious, compelling him to look at the surveillance video. After seeing what she disposed of, the company's owner called the police.
A warrant has been issued for Niland's arrest, but as of Saturday she has not been arrested. A representative from Flagler Hospital said the containers were stolen from that hospital and that they wish to press additional charges.
