December 26, 2012

On August 16, 2012, the state of Florida revoked the license of psychiatrist Jose Menendez-Campos due to his criminal conviction for drug trafficking, for which he was sentenced January 2012 to 25 years in prison. The state Attorney General stated that Menendez’s “illegal operation was responsible for distributing large quantities of prescription pills throughout Western Florida.” In addition to prison, Menendez was fined $537,349.94. He won’t be able to reapply for his medical license until 2054.
