ROANOKE, Va. (AP) — The state Board of Medicine has suspended the license of a Roanoke County physician charged with possessing child pornography.
The board entered an order last week suspending the license of Dr. Steven Collins.
The board found that Collins presented a “substantial danger” to public health or safety.
The Roanoke Times (http://bit.ly/ZjBpKt) reports federal authorities found images of child porn on a computer at Collins’ private practice in August when they arrived to investigate another matter.
Collins has been terminated as medical director of the Roanoke Treatment Center, a methadone clinic.
