 SOURCE PRESS RELEASE

HARRISBURG PA (February 27, 2015)- Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane today announced charges against a Uniontown podiatrist and six others in a prescription drug scheme in which the doctor wrote prescriptions for powerful narcotics that he would share or split with his co-conspirators, some of which were covered by patients\’ insurance plans.   

Following a joint investigation with the Drug Enforcement Administration, investigators determined that for two and a half years Dr. William Ainsley abused thousands of hydrocodone pills by prescribing high quantities of the narcotic to patients who would have the prescriptions filled and then return up to half of the tablets back to him.
