Columbus, OH (WorkersCompensation.com) - A doctor who ran a pill mill in Dayton and the owner of a massage parlor in Medina were among seven Ohioans convicted or sentenced in February on workers compensation fraud or related charges.
Morris Brown, M.D., 73, was sentenced Feb. 8 to two years in prison after investigators with the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC) and other state and federal authorities discovered his involvement in an opioid ring. Brown was convicted in February last year, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
“I m proud of our Special Investigations Department for its role in bringing this criminal activity to an end,” said BWC Interim Administrator/CEO John Logue.
