INDIANAPOLIS — A Pendleton woman whose doctor husband supplied her with illegal drugs for personal use had her nursing license revoked Thursday by the Indiana State Board of Nursing.

Heidi Jones, 46, had been accused of being unfit to be a nurse due to drug abuse; diverting drugs; and falsifying patient charts.

“I am in no way denying that I took advantage of my husband’s prescribing ability and getting medication ability and I 100 percent absolutely abused those medications,” Jones told the board. “I am very remorseful for that.”

She denied falsifying patient records.

The allegations followed a 2014 raid of the Pendleton medical offices of Dr. Eric Jones which resulted in 32 charges related to illegally dispensing controlled substances and trading drugs for sex.

On July 6, 2015, he was convicted in Madison County of seven counts including dealing in a controlled substance, unlawful dispensation of a controlled substance and voyeurism. In the latter charge, he recorded sexual activity with two patients without their knowledge.

Jones, 47, was sentenced to six years of in-home detention and had his medical license suspended. 

No criminal charges were filed against his wife.

Heidi Jones has not worked as a nurse since August 2016 when her license was suspended. At the time, she was working at an eating disorder clinic in Madison County.

She told the nursing board that she went to Fairbanks Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center in Indianapolis where a counselor told her to pursue a nine-week course to treat substance abuse. However, she did not sign up for financial reasons, needing to keep a job at a tanning parlor, she said.

On Thursday, Indiana Deputy Attorney General Jessica Krug presented transcripts from text messages in which Heidi Jones asked her husband to bring home anti-depressants, such as Ambien, Norco and Xanax, for personal use. 

Before the board Thursday, Jones denied altering patient records, saying that she did work on patient spreadsheets for her husband’s office.

However, board members indicated that medical records had to be changed to reflect the loss of drugs in the office inventory.

Jones can reapply for a nursing license in seven years.
