Doctor arrested in pill probe

PARKERBURG, W.Va. — A Parkersburg emergency room doctor allegedly wrote illegal prescriptions for pills according to police.

Dr. Robert Hogan was arrested Friday by West Virginia State Police.

Dr. Robert Hogan II, 32, of Coolville, Ohio, was arrested by State Police Friday on a charge of delivery of a controlled substance. Troopers said Hogan’s arrest was part of a doctor prescription pill investigation that’s been taking place for several months.

Hogan, who is employed at Camden Clark Medical Center, allegedly wrote multiple prescriptions for oxycodone to people without a medical examination. In exchange, they were required to give Hogan half of the pills.

Hogan is housed in the North Central Regional Jail on $250,000 bail.

State Police said the investigation would continue.
