PAINTSVILLE, Ky. — Police have again raided an eastern Kentucky pain clinic.
The state attorney general's office said 29 people were arrested Wednesday for charges that included public intoxication and DUI and for outstanding warrants.
Johnson County Sheriff Dwayne Price said at least 17 people were arrested outside the Care More Pain Management clinic Wednesday, one on a drug-related DUI charge and most of the others on outstanding warrants, The Courier-Journal reported.
Aaron Cantrell, co-owner of Care More Pain Management, was outside the clinic during the raid but declined comment, The Courier-Journal reported (http://cjky.it/y6JGue ).
WYMT-TV reports that a former doctor at the clinic, Richard Albert, was indicted last year after the clinic was raided in February. He pleaded guilty in December to a federal charge of conspiring to illegally prescribe approximately 50,000 tablets of the painkiller Percocet.
Spokeswoman Shelley Catharine Johnson of the attorney general's office says state, federal and local investigators executed a search warrant as part of an ongoing investigation of the clinic.
