On six occasions the informant and undercover personnel were able to obtain a prescription for Vicodin without benefit of a thorough medical examination. Dr. Serai was advised by the undercover personnel that they were addicted to pain killers and asked him to issue the prescriptions. Once obtaining the prescriptions they paid cash for the visit and left. Dr. Serai was arrested this morning at his place of business and a search warrant was served on the premises. Detectives seized numerous medical records, employee files and financial documents.
Additional charges are pending.
Detectives are asking anyone who may have information regarding this investigation to contact Sergeant Linda Butler at 922-3465.
