The person who filed the complaint told the sheriff’s office that a new employee recently started working at the facility and has keys to the building, but that person is not specifically named as a suspect in the report.

A K-Laser is used to reduce pain and inflammation. There was no security video or any other information available when deputies took the complaint, the report states.
