Mark Chavez, a former doctor, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine last October. In his plea agreement, Chavez acknowledged that he and Salvador Plasencia - an ex-doctor sentenced to nearly three years in prison earlier this month - colluded to deceive medical ketamine suppliers and illegally distribute the drug to Perry for profit. Chavez, 54, was also sentenced to three years of supervised release following his house arrest and must perform 300 hours of community service.

A family doctor accused of professional misconduct over his public comments on Covid-19 measures and restrictions had criticised "virtually every aspect of the State's response to the pandemic," a medical inquiry has heard.
