New Jersey Nurse Stole from ER Patient
Posted on 28. Jul, 2010 in News Stories
Ten days ago, Abelino Mazariego was attacked and beaten by three teenagers. He was rushed to Overlook Hospital, unconscious, where he eventually died last week from his injuries. After Abelino arrived at the hospital, to add insult to injury — so to speak — his wife discovered that $640 was stolen from his wallet.
The police were contacted, and eventually had a suspect who confessed to stealing the money. It ended up being a nurse at the hospital (who has since been fired), Stephan Randolph. He was charged this past Monday with third-degree theft.
As for the teenagers who attacked Abelino, they have been charged with murder.

On admission doesn’t all facilities require an inventory of personal belongings and remarkable items. If this person was accompanied by family, friend,EMT or police wouldn’t there be any report of wallet ID and contents. Plus any valuables noted in my hospital we highly encourage use of safe in security department or sent all valuables home to prevent these type of sceneros. Plus if the patient declines to send valuables home or lock up items it is documented and hospital isn’t liable for loss.
Hope of this nurse did steal from the patient, he/she will never be able to find a job.
