The newly-convicted doctor also issued prescriptions for friends or family members with whom he had no physician-patient relationship. Dr. Battle and his coconspirators knowingly propagated prescription drug abuse by dispensing powerful painkillers to individuals with no need for them, said Acting U.S. Attorney Prerak Shah. The U.S. Attorney s Office is proud to partner with the DEA and other law enforcement agencies to stop unscrupulous pill pushers like Dr. Battle in their tracks. As we continue to lose lives by the misuse and abuse of prescription drugs, we look to our medical professionals for sound guidance, professionalism, and integrity, stated DEA Dallas Special Agent in Charge Eduardo A. Chávez. Dr. Battle and his conspirators broke that oath for one sole purpose: greed. Today s conviction is a testament to the work of our investigators, prosecutors, and law enforcement partners who will continue to protect the lives of our loved ones.
