Ala. psychiatrist, wife face drug charges
Officials in Huntsville say a Florence psychiatrist and his wife were arrested after prescription drugs and cash were found in their possession.
Huntsville Police Sgt. Mark Roberts says 50-year-old Dr. William Roddy and 43-year-old Wendy Sue Roddy were charged with trafficking in a controlled substance. He says they were arrested on Sunday and were released on $250,000 bail each.
Roberts says officers responded to a call about a man with a gun in a hotel parking lot and arrested Roddy.
He says a search of Roddy and his hotel room turned up prescription narcotics and thousands of dollars in cash.
Police say they searched the couple’s home and found more drugs.
A message left with the doctor’s answering service seeking comment was not immediately returned.
