DENVER — A woman stole painkillers from an unconscious Iraq war veteran in a Denver hospital, along with the device that was feeding them into his body, authorities said Friday.

Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center said the patient wasn’t injured in the incident and was doing well.

Police were searching for the woman, whose 3-minute foray into the hospital on Wednesday was captured on surveillance video.

Denver police identified a suspect in the case Friday night. They said detectives with the Crimes Against Persons Bureau had obtained a warrant for the arrest of Linda Coulimore, 59, for investigation of aggravated assault on an at-risk adult, The Denver Post reported on its Web site.

Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said earlier that the suspect could face assault, theft, robbery and drug charges.
