Dentist Admits to Distributing Cocaine, Oxycodone

November 6, 2006 - 3:31pm
GREENBELT, Md. - A local dentist has confessed Monday to distributing drugs including Oxycodone and cocaine.

Federal prosecutors say 63-year-old Derek Curtis pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt.

U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein says he gave prescriptions for drugs to people not receiving dental treatment at his Forestville office. In all, Curtis wrote prescriptions for more than 26,000 pills from 1997 to 2004.

He also sold 16 grams of cocaine to a confidential source for $300.

He will be sentenced in February.
