SEMINOLE — Some Medicus employees asked Thursday to take a drug test to clear themselves as potential suspects in the investigation into missing narcotics at the city-owned ambulance service, City Manager Steve Saxon said.

Saxon said voluntary drug testing was only one of the means being used to determine who may be responsible for missing drugs.

An agent with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control met with employees Thursday for a series of meetings and interviews, spokesman Mark Woodward said.

Woodward said the agent does not anticipate making an arrest in the next few days.

	Report Comment turtle6602, (11/20/2009 11:32:16 AM) Just cause you don't test positive for the drugs, doesn't mean you didn't steal and SELL them!!!!!
	Report Comment wonderer, Inola (11/20/2009 11:33:31 AM) just because you take a drug test doesn't prove you didn't take them. just proves you didn't use them.
	Report Comment fld11, (11/20/2009 11:42:08 AM) Why would these ignorant idiots think that the people who stole the drugs are the actual users? Only in OK folks - the hick capital of the world.
	Report Comment parksport, (11/20/2009 11:53:31 AM) Yawn
	Report Comment paprika, teahas (11/20/2009 11:58:49 AM) "Only one of the means". Read between the lines people.
	Report Comment owl, Tulsa (11/20/2009 12:31:08 PM) If you're willing to dismiss Oklahomans as "hicks" you should be willing to put your own profile up and yourself be subject to such sweeping judgement.
	Report Comment skippy1, Tulsa (11/20/2009 12:37:03 PM) Owl- Well put. The hardest thing in the world to do is prove a negative. At least these folks are willing to put themselves out there.
	Report Comment parksport, (11/20/2009 1:04:37 PM) And at least they are willing to voluntarily submit to a drug screen before being required to do so, which is more then can be said for a lot of other people under the same circumstance.
	Report Comment FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (11/20/2009 1:30:37 PM) The request for a drug screen is a moot point as any residual evidence of drug use would certainly have cleared their bodies by now.
	Report Comment parksport, (11/20/2009 3:12:50 PM) I disagree FW, it all depends on the type of sample they wish to follow up on.
	Report Comment FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (11/20/2009 6:32:20 PM) Would be funny if they all came in with their heads shaved.
	Report Comment FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (11/20/2009 6:34:56 PM) And as for those hair strand samples, whose going to pay, the employees or the ambulance service? It would seem like a waste of money even if they cam eback positive. As it would not prove those individuals stole the drugs. Only that they have been using drugs.
