Port Orange Doctor Charged with Trafficking Pain Pills
Port Orange law enforcement arrested a doctor and several others this week for trafficking pain pills. According to authorities, the investigation into the drug trafficking ring has been going on since September. That's when the doctor's practice, home, and bank accounts were searched.
The doctor was charged on Tuesday with trafficking in illegal drugs, money laundering, racketeering, and conspiracy to commit racketeering. Four others were also arrested and were identified as patients or employees of the doctor's.
Beginning in October of last year, the Florida Department of Health filed a complaint against the doctor alleging he prescribed a large amount of narcotics to an undercover department investigator. The department recommended administrative action be taken against him, including permanently revoking his license to practice medicine. He started practicing in Florida in 2006.
According to records, his medical license is currently suspended in New York and Pennsylvania, as well as Florida.
This is yet another perfect example of what can happen when you are facing a drug charge. Besides jail time, this doctor will lose his medical license, and probably much more than that.
If you are facing a drug charge in Orange County or Orlando, Florida, or anywhere else in the state of Florida, please contact the experienced criminal defense attorneys at the Umansky Law Firm for a free and confidential case evaluation.
