kentucky.com on January 26, 2012 reported that Wednesday was a bad day to show up impaired at a Johnson County pain clinic. As state and federal authorities searched the clinic in an investigation of potential improper drug prescribing, police arrested 29 people who had come to the office, according to a news release from the Kentucky Attorney General's Office. Charges against the people included public intoxication and driving under the influence. A number of people also were arrested on outstanding warrants, according to the release. The raid was the second in less than a year at the Care More Pain Management clinic. Authorities also searched the business in February. A federal grand jury later charged a doctor who had worked there, Richard W. Albert, with conspiring to illegally prescribe thousands of pain pills that fed the region's debilitating level of drug abuse.
