A Marietta doctor is under arrest following raids Tuesday morning at his home and at his office at Harmar Village Medical on Maple Street in Marietta.

According to Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks, the Major Crimes Task Force began investigating 73-year old Dr. Pedrito Galupo in March, during which time undercover agents received prescriptions to obtain large quantities of Schedule II narcotics, including Percocet, Xanax and Oxycontin. The agents allegedly received these prescriptions without being asked to show proof of their identity during their visits or receiving a formal examination.

Galupo faces charges of trafficking in a Schedule II narcotic.

Officials say Dr. Galupo voluntarily permanently surrendered his license to practice medicine in Ohio.

Officers say they are going to investigate some of the doctor's patients to see if they were doing anything illegal with the prescriptions.
