The Moores were arrested when authorities say they found a secret room filled with a marijuana growing operation at their home outside of Angito in July, 2007.

Dr. Moore was suspended, but later reinstated by the state to practice medicine.

A hospital spokeswoman says he is working as an emergency room doctor for Langlade Memorial Hospital.

This is ridiculous that this woman got away with this. It will be interesting to see what he gets. Obvious hard work on behalf of the police force and for only a slap in the face. That's sad.
