One man is behind bars this morning accused of stealing from several Vanderbilt doctors.
According to court records, back in July, Derrick Flores stole the bags of three doctors at Vanderbilt Medical Center. Officers claim Flores dressed in a white coat with a stethoscope to get into the surgeon's lounge.
The bags contained laptops, Ipads and prescription pads that Flores used to order Oxycodone and Lortab from a Kroger in Bellevue. Officers used a GPS in one of the Ipads to track him to a Motel 8 on Charlotte Pike in West Nashville, but Flores had already check out when officers arrived. They eventually arrested him Saturday at the In-town Suites in Bellevue.
Flores is facing charges of theft of property, obtaining drugs by fraud and forgery. He's in the Davidson County Jail on $40,000 bond.

Updated conservatorship statute effective July 1
May 21, 2013 12:49 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Gov. Bill Haslam has signed into law revisions to the state conservatorship statute.
The law allows the court to appoint a conservator to manage the assets of a person a judge finds unable to handle his or her own affairs.
State Rep. Andrew Farmer, a Sevierville Republican, told The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/1183hjy ) the intent of the bill he sponsored in the House is to make sure people aren't being taken advantage of.
The bill sprang from a series of hearings statewide by the Tennessee Bar Association. They revealed there were no uniform procedures for placing a person's assets under a conservator on an emergency basis.
The changes take effect July 1.
