PRESCOTT, AZ - A Prescott doctor has been arrested for allegedly prescribing narcotic medications for non-medical related reasons.
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that 39-year-old Randy Joe Spicer was under investigation for violations including his agreement to profit from medications he knowingly prescribed for resale on the streets.
Authorities said Spicer was recently arrested and booked into jail for an unrelated criminal investigation and released on bond.

Spicer was arrested on Wednesday in the medical center complex and booked at the Camp Verde Detention Center on charges of administering a narcotic drug, obtaining a narcotic drug by fraud, conspiracy to sell dangerous drugs and facilitation to sell or distribute dangerous drugs.
