Seminole - Authorities are investigating the possibility that narcotics are missing from the ambulance service Medicus in Seminole.

Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics spokesman Mark Woodward says an investigation was opened Tuesday after the agency received a tip about possible misuse of drugs at Medicus. Woodward said he could not comment further.

Seminole mayor and Medicus medical director Dr. Chayne Fisher declined comment. Calls to Medicus director Josh Hair were not returned. City Manager Steve Saxon said he and Police Chief Ed Smith called state drug agents to investigate, but would not comment further. Saxon says the city has owned an ambulance service since the 1970s.

State Health Department medical services director Shawn Rogers says said he received a complaint Tuesday about Medicus' storage of drugs, but also declined to elaborate.
