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.
