Beleaguered Charleston neurologist Dr. Iraj Derakhshan was charged today with violating a federal record-keeping law.
Federal prosecutors filed the felony charge in the form of an information, which can’t be filed without a defendant’s consent and usually signals a defendant has agreed to plead guilty.
On June 18, 2015, Derakhshan allegedly didn’t report or record information regarding the dispensing of a Schedule II controlled substance to a patient, according to the charge, filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Miller Bushong. Schedule II drugs have a high potential for abuse.
The charge Derakhshan faces carries a maximum four-year prison sentence.
