DEA agents are used to low-life criminals.
But during a raid this week in a New York house riddled with needles and crack, agents found Dr. Daniel Gillick, a 62-year-old emergency room doctor, lighting up a crack pipe with a young female companion, Buffalo News reports.
Gillick’s status as a doctor prompted the U.S. Attorney’s Office to speed up the case.
“This is a public safety concern,” Dale M. Kasprzyk, agent in charge of the regional DEA office, told the Buffalo News. “We wanted to cut off any possible access to hospitals, prescriptions and prescription drugs as soon as possible. … We want to make sure this doctor was using good judgment and was using proper medical procedures in treating his patients.”
Gillick was appeared in court Wednesday on a charge of crack cocaine possession, the Buffalo News reported.
