The warrants say Lyons was found with 10 vials of Diprivan Propofol, each of which has a value of about $100.
A doctor at the facility told investigators that Diprivan Propofol is not permitted to leave the operating room, let alone the whole building.
Propofol is a sedative generally used by anesthesiologists before patients undergo medical procedures.
