A doctor in Hawaii who ran a website called DIAL-A-DOC has pleaded guilty in federal court to four counts of dispensing drugs without a legitimate medical purpose.
Dr. Harold Spear III also pleaded guilty last week to a similar additional charge filed in Alabama. He agreed to forfeit money seized in that investigation.
Spear faces a possible maximum sentence of 85 years in prison and $4.2 million in fines when he is sentenced on October 26. The U.S. Attorney said Spear admitted illegally prescribing methadone to a patient in Hawaii four times in 2005 and 2006. He also illegally prescribed hydrocodone in the Alabama case.
