Jailed Pain Doc Wants Comforts Of Home, Asks For Luxury Detention
A Bloomfield Hills doctor tried to pull an Epstein this week, asking a judge to release him on home detention -- to his $1.4 million mansion -- rather than making him stay behind bars.
The request is similar to one made by accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein earlier this summer, who wanted to be confined to his New York townhouse while awaiting trial, rather than the less luxurious confines of the federal lockup where he is being held.
The judge in Dr. Rajendra Bothra's case has not ruled yet. (Epstein's judge said no.)
Bothra is accused of masterminding a Warren "pill mill" that defrauded insurers of more than $500 million since 2013, requiring patients to receive unnecessary back injections in exchange for prescriptions for opiates. Bothra has been behind bars for eight months and is scheduled for trial in January.
