A former Walgreens pharmacy technician has been sentenced in the theft of hundreds of pills last year.
Jaquila Kassavia Kelley, 22, of Wildwood, had been arrested Aug. 16 on a felony charge of grand theft of a controlled substance. A regional Walgreens manager had been called in to investigate the fact that 508 Alprazolam and 430 Hydrocodone pills were missing from the pharmacy on Bella Cruz Drive in The Villages. Kelley admitted to taking the pills.
Last month, she entered a plea of no contest in the case. She was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.
