Clifton Park – A doctor who practiced in Clifton Park has been sentenced to 38 months in federal prison for distributing illegally prescribed controlled substances and must give up his medical license, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Albany said.
Scott McMahon, 52, was sentenced Friday by Senior U.S. District Court Judge Thomas J. McAvoy after having earlier pleaded guilty in federal court to distributing controlled substances outside the course of professional practice and for no legitimate medical purpose, as well as to misusing personal information to get controlled substances, officials said.
