A Zelienople physical therapist associated with the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex is accused of visiting a patient at her home without the complex’s knowledge and stealing the patient’s oxycodone.

Trevor Raymond Delaney, 42, was charged Thursday, Nov. 6, with felony possession of a controlled substance by fraud or deception and one misdemeanor count each of theft, receiving stolen property and controlled substance possession following a Sept. 30 incident in Cranberry Township.

Police said they were dispatched to a Cranberry Township residence for a report of a woman’s oxycodone being stolen. The woman told police she was prescribed 90 oxycodone pills, valued at $170.69, on Aug. 25 and takes one pill per night. The woman was supposed to have 55 pills remaining. After Delaney, her physical therapist, left her house that day, only 14 pills remained, police said.

The woman told police she was supposed to have an appointment with Delaney on Sept. 30 at UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex, but Delaney called off sick. The woman told police Delaney called her and asked to come to her residence to discuss medical test results.

The woman said while Delaney was at her residence, she received a call from the sports complex to reschedule the appointment. Delaney reportedly told the woman not to tell UPMC staff he was at her residence, police said.

Police said while at the residence, Delaney asked to see the woman’s medications, including the oxycodone. The oxycodone was left on a kitchen table when the woman returned her other medications to the bathroom, police said. Delaney left the residence shortly after.

According to the National Library of Medicine, oxycodone is beneficial when used judiciously for pain management, yet it carries the risk of inducing physical dependence and addiction.

The woman said when she went to take her pill that night, she counted 41 pills were missing. She told police Delaney was the only other person in her apartment that day.

In an interview with police, Delaney said he was at the woman’s residence during an undocumented incident and did not tell his employer.

According to UPMC’s website, Delaney practices physical therapy at Centers for Rehab Services in the sports complex and UPMC Centers for Rehab Services — Rooney Sports in Pittsburgh.

A UPMC representative was not immediately available for comment.

Delaney’s preliminary hearing before District Judge Kevin Flaherty has not yet been scheduled.
