Mark Moalem, a 45-year-old captain of the San Jose Fire Department, faces criminal charges for allegedly stealing narcotics, including morphine, from the fire stations. The investigation revealed that vital narcotic supplies had been tampered with at numerous locations, leading authorities to suspect Moalem's involvement. District Attorney Jeff Rosen emphasized the breach of trust this incident represents for the community that relies on first responders. The investigation also uncovered that Moalem was seen off duty near fire stations leading to the missing medications, highlighting the ongoing concerns about safety and trust in emergency services.
"There is no excuse for violating the trust and safety of Santa Clara County residents," stated District Attorney Jeff Rosen.
"The fire department alerted police after an inspection and restock of fire station medications discovered that a vial of morphine in a lockbox was tampered with."
