SPOKANE — A Washington doctor has been sentenced to four years in prison for a scheme in which she hired drug addicts and gave them blank prescription scripts for opioid pain medications and other controlled substances without a legitimate medical purpose, according to federal prosecutors.
Dr. Janet Arnold owned Desert Wind Family Practice in Richland, Washington, and with her co-conspirators “pushed thousands of pills on the street to be abused by addicts, and potentially caused others to become addicted to controlled substances,” prosecutors said.
