Attorney General announces charges against Erie County doctor
Attorney General Tom Corbett and Erie County District Attorney Bradley H. Foulk announced that agents of the Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation (BNI) have charged an Erie County doctor with writing illegal prescriptions for numerous drugs, including the addictive painkiller OxyContin.
Corbett identified the defendant as Paul W. Heberle, D.O., 39, 18244 Irish Road, Edinboro. He operates South East Medical Center at 1306 E. 38th St., Erie.
Corbett said Dr. Heberle is charged with 15 violations of the state's drug law and 13 counts of Medicaid Fraud.
Corbett said BNI agents initiated the investigation in January of this year after receiving complaints from area pharmacists that Dr. Heberle was excessively prescribing narcotic drugs to his patients.
