Physician Sentenced For Illegal Distribution of Prescription Drugs

A former central Ohio physician was sentenced Thursday to one year in prison for distributing pain medication without a legitimate medical purpose. 59-year-old Terry Dragash worked at a Columbus medical clinic from 2001 through 2011. Prosecutors say many patients treated at Columbus Southern Medical Clinic were drug addicts traveling to get pain pills. Prosecutors say Dragash had a history of alcohol and cocaine abuse.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
