SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Cedar City pediatrician K. G. has been accused of illegally pocketing Demerol, ordering thousands of doses of Lortab and writing fake prescriptions for other controlled substances.
G. 45, was charged by the Iron County attorney earlier this month with obtaining a prescription under false pretenses, possession or use of a controlled substance and a records violation, all third-degree felonies.
A preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 5 in 5th District Court in Cedar City.
G.'s office said Thursday that he is on medical leave and would not comment on the charges, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
A probable-cause statement alleges that between Dec. 19 and March 2, G. received drugs on prescriptions written for an office worker, the family member of an office worker or for his business, Valley View Pediatrics in Cedar City, and kept the drugs for himself.
Investigators also allege G. pocketed leftover Demerol. When office workers asked about the extra Demerol, G. allegedly made excuses for not turning it over.
About five days after a procedure in which the Demerol was used, G. gave the Demerol bottle to his office manager, who turned it over to investigators. Lab tests discovered that the bottle's content was mostly saline solution.
According to court documents, G. was unable to produce records showing what happened with the purchases of excessive amounts of controlled substances between Jan. 1, 2004, and Aug. 31, 2005, including 10,100 doses of the painkiller hydrocodone (generic of Lortab) and 11,000 doses of other controlled substances.
G. reportedly told investigators he ground up the hydrocodone pills and mixed them with cherry cough syrup to create his own compound.
Court papers state G.was unable to document the mixture he allegedly compounded, and workers in his office said they never observed him concoct the blend.
