ASHEVILLE — A registered nurse from Asheville’s Mission Hospital had her first court appearance yesterday after the State Bureau of Investigation arrested her Friday on charges of stealing fentanyl from her employer, the SBI said in a news release.

Meg Elizabeth Eisenhower, 42, of Fairview, was charged with three counts of felonious embezzlement of a controlled substance by an employee of a registrant last April, May and June. Eisenhower worked in Mission’s Intensive Care Unit’s Neuro-Trauma section, where it is alleged she diverted liquid fentanyl. She was released from custody on a $50,000 unsecured bond.
