A jail nurse faces a felony drug charge after replacing an inmate's oxycodone pills with Tylenol and taking the prescription medicine home with her, the Sheriff's Office said.

The arrest comes less than two months after Armor Correctional Medical Services, the nurse's employer, started its contract to provide health care to Sarasota County inmates.
