Deputies alleged Williams, 43, of 1844 Kimberly Court, took multiple Adderall pills last week from the school.

Surveillance video allegedly shows the suspect taking the drugs, Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly said, and he reportedly confessed Friday.

Williams was placed on leave Friday afternoon, according to Clark-Shawnee Superintendent Gregg Morris.

Last week clinical aide Amy Baumgardner, 48, of 3916 Petre Road, was indicted on a felony theft of drugs charge, also accused of stealing pills from students at Reid.

Baumgardner’s charge stems from allegations she stole Adderall pills that were stored at the school for students who were prescribed the drug, according to court records.

She was arrested Sept. 15 following an investigation by the sheriff’s office and was terminated five days later. A parent complained about missing medication, according to court records.
