Looks like someone didn’t check too deeply into Sheena Denice Thompson’s background before hiring her. As D.K.O.M.S. points out, her employer claims to have run a thorough check on her but one look at her drug and gangsta themed MySpace page should have disqualified her immediately. From Delaware Online:

An in-home nurses aide caring for a cancer patient was charged with stealing two diamond rings she found in a filing cabinet, Newark police reported today.

Sheena Denice Thompson, 23, of the 2100 block of Washington St. in Wilmington, was charged with felony theft, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Police also found that Thompson was wanted on two outstanding warrants.

Thompson is being held in the Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution on $500 bail on two outstanding warrants. She was given $4,000 unsecured bail on the theft and drug charges.

Thompson is employed by Right At Home, at 1500 N. French Street in Wilmington.

Joe Bakey, owner of the company, said Thompson was hired as a nurses aide in December after a “thorough background check.” Police had earlier reported she was a nurse.

“We’re always focused on the safety and security of our clients,” said Bakey, whose company provides in-care assistance to seniors.

Her employment has not yet been terminated because the agency has not heard from Thompson.

“We don’t even know where she is at this point,” he said.

But I’m sure being the kind of person that walks around with a dime bag and a pipe in your purse has nothing to do with also being a thief and a liar.
