birdwatcherHIGHLAND PARK, Ill. - Police in Highland Park and Highwood, along with federal drug authorities, began investigating Kane in 2005 after receiving reports that he was ordering large amounts of prescription painkillers.
"Dr. Kane's patients had been coming in with a number of prescriptions," Scheller said. "Pharmacists were concerned, because the amount of drugs prescribed was just excessive."
NBC5's Anthony Ponce reported that authorities said they do not believe Kane profited from the prescriptions, but his actions resulted from, "his own desire to stay in practice and a twisted perception that he was somehow helping these individuals."
If convicted, Kane could be imprisoned for as much as seven years.
