A former Utah hospital housekeeper already on probation for stealing $100,000 worth of medical supplies earlier this year has been arrested again for stealing thousands more, including bone grafts, from a Lehi hospital, and then attempting to sell them.
Jason Brauner, 47, was arrested Monday on two counts of burglary and one theft count.
In the early hours of Nov. 25, Brauner was allegedly caught on video entering Holy Cross Hospital - Mountain Point in Lehi while wearing hospital scrubs and a surgical mask, and leaving with $25,498 in supplies, including skin grafts and medical tools.
According to Brauner’s arrest documents, he is accused of allegedly entering the same hospital without authorization multiple times between Nov. 11 and Nov. 26, and accessing restricted areas to remove hospital property.
During a search warrant of Brauner’s home in Salt Lake City, authorities found handwritten inventory sheets of his stolen medical products and a list of medical providers that would be interested in buying bone grafts. His wife confirmed to police that Brauner had been selling bone and skin grafts to companies across the U.S.
