press release 

WOODBURY NJ– Facing aggravated assault and attempted murder charges in what was described as a brutal beating that left his wife on life support for 2 1/2 weeks, Byron Jenkins (7/30/69), of Glassboro NJ, was unsuccessful today (8/21) in a request for reduction of his $750,000 bail.

 Jenkins’ lawyer told Superior Court Judge M. Christine Allen-Jackson he filed a \”time-in\” bail reduction request because his client had been jailed since the 6/13/15 incident and the machine operator’s financial ability to post bail had worsened because of his incarceration. He also wanted to learn when Jenkins case would be presented to a grand jury.

The overwhelming majority of people who go into the health care industry do it because they want to help people. Unfortunately, there are also some unscrupulous individuals who do it because they think they can take advantage of the health care system for their own financial gain.

Paula Kluding, owner of Prairie View Hospice, Inc., located in Chandler, Oklahoma, submitted millions of dollars’ worth of fraudulent claims to the federal Medicare program.

She was also ordered to pay $2.5 million in restitution to Medicare.

Earlier this month, London’s Sunday Times and German broadcaster ARD published a joint investigation on doping in track and field that included an analysis of 12,000 leaked blood tests from 5,000 athletes between 2001 and 2012. The tests had been carried out by the IAAF, track and field’s international governing body. Two respected experts in doping methods said blood tests of 800 of the athletes were \”highly suggestive of doping or at the very least abnormal.\” Ten runners who won medals in endurance events at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London had suspicious test results. And a startling 80 percent of Russian medalists recorded tests that showed likely doping. The vast majority of athletes with suspicious tests were never sanctioned.
