Back in July
I called Shenanigans in the case of Texas nurses Anne Mitchell and Vicki Galle, charged by county sheriff Robert Roberts with felonies for reporting Dr. Arafiles to the state medical board. The charges are based on a Texas law criminalizing the use of state property to harass another. Boy, was I right!
At a recent hearing on the matter, Winkler Co. Sheriff Robert Roberts was questioned by the defense and prosecution. During questioning Roberts revealed that he is a patient of Dr. Arafiles and has used the herbal supplements Dr. Arafiles sells to patients. Roberts said his kids also see Dr. Arafiles and that he sold/distributed some of the herbal supplements in the past.
Texas Nurses Association General Counsel, Jim Willmann, called the prosecution of Anne Mitchell and Vicki Galle “appalling”. It appears that Dr. Arafiles, in response to receiving notice that a complaint had been fileed from the state medical board, responded by having his friend, the sherriff, use his office to determine who had filed the anonymous complaint. The good sherriff, armed with search warrants, descended on the hospital, its computers and its medical records to track down the two nurses. SHENANIGANS!
