California doctor arrested due to illegal prescription of steroids
Posted Byi steroids
A physician from Santa Fe, California recently pleaded guilty to drug trafficking. Dr. Ramon Scruggs admitted the offense last week and will be sentenced on December 7 in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court.
Dr. Scruggs admitted to prescribing steroids and other performance enhancing drugs for non-medical purposes from January 2003 to April 2007. It was learned that the doctor conducted it through the Internet.
Some of those who purchased the drugs from Scruggs involved a police officer who has been in the service for almost 27 years.
Cleveland police officer, Lt. Anthony Tuleta of West 14th street was accused of buying steroids and submitting bills amounting to $95,000 to Medical Mutual.
Aside from drug possession, he was also charged with theft. He started a suspension without pay last November.
His trial was supposed to start on Monday, with Judge Nancy Margaret Russo to handle the case. However, the judge decided to remove herself from the case after learning that Tuleta’s brother used to work on her home.
The case will be re-assigned and a grand jury is now in the process of being selected.
A former Cleveland firefighter was also discovered to have bought steroids from Scruggs and have subsequently billed Medical Mutual.
