KENTUCKY....
On Monday, federal agents and Kentucky State Police arrested a Boca Raton, Florida doctor and charged him with drug trafficking. Dr. Michael Shook, owner and operator of the Lauderhill Medical Clinic in Oakland Park, Florida, is accused of illegally prescribing tens of thousands of pills to patients in eastern Kentucky, including several in Johnson and Floyd counties. Investigators searched his office and found 1,400 patient files which included names of some of the 500 people arrested during last October's Flamingo Road Roundup. Shook is the second south Florida doctor to face federal charges in eastern Kentucky. Shook is free on $50,000 cash bond.
