I wonder what he was charged with that required him to do this?

Allen Carl Warner – The Charley Project

The day before his disappearance, Warner was arrested for selling prescription drugs to a police officer. The offense was a minor one and he had no prior arrests, so it's unlikely he would have been severely punished. However, a drug conviction would probably have kept him from pursuing his chosen career in pharmacy.

Did LE ever know where Allen took the drug from? Did he take it from the hospital, maybe during a training period? What I want to say is that if someone else gave him the drug or was implicated somehow... that person would have wanted to silence him.
I don't buy the theory of the escape (not after all these years) and I refuse to believe he committed suicide just for a minor charge.
