Pain Clinic CEO Indicted
KENTUCKY...
A federal grand jury in Kentucky has indicted the CEO of a Louisiana-based chain of medical clinics, charging him with conspiring to sell pain pills to eastern Kentucky residents. Michael D. Leman was indicted, charged with conspiracy to distribute oxycodone and methadone from January 2005 into autumn 2007. The indictment springs from an investigation into what prosecutors said was a scheme in which people from the Floyd County area went to other states and got prescription painkillers to avoid Kentucky's tracking system for dispensing them. Earlier indictments in the probe have produced guilty pleas by 22 people. Leman was the president of Urgent Care Services of Slidell, LA, according to court documents.
