- {West Virginia}...Federal prosecutors filed a petition this week asking a judge to require Dr. Katherine Hoover to appear August 23rd to answer questions under oath for an out-of-court deposition. The civil case is one of several in which prosecutors seek control of $2.2 million in assets seized as part of the March 2010 raid of the Mountain Medical Care Center in Williamson, a Mingo County pain clinic. Investigators allege the clinic handed out pain-drug prescriptions to people who did not need them, but no criminal charges have been filed. Hoover has been in the Bahamas, where she and her husband own an island, since the raid.
