(Grand Rapids, MI) – A Greenville, MI doctor, who served state time for resisting arrest and chronic drunken driving, was sentenced yesterday by a federal judge after admitting he lied about over $114,000 income from his Kent County medical practice in 2009 and 2010.
51-year-old Dean Ruble of Greenville, MI, who was reportedly investigated for writing questionable pain med prescriptions, was sentenced to three months probation by United States Magistrate Judge Ellen S. Carmody in Grand Rapids, MI.
The DEA and other state federal and local drug agents raided his pain clinic in September 2010 after a year-long probe – but no charges have yet been filed in that case.
Ruble ordered to make over $50,000 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service and fined $5,000.
The IRS settled for just over $50,000 but stated the crime involved over $56,000.
On Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2017, Ruble pleaded guilty to a federal Class A misdemeanor information charging him with failure to file tax returns. In the plea agreement with federal prosecutors, Ruble “his level of gross income exceeded the minimum income for filing a return, which was $9,350 for tax year 2010 and admitted “willfully” and “deliberately” failing to file federal income returns that “he knew the law required to be filed.” Ruble was ordered to make “payment of taxes owed” and to “file true and complete tax returns for calendar years 2008-2010.”
In April 2012, Roble was sentenced to five years in state prison for resisting arrest and drunk driving third offense. He was paroled in April 2016. In prison he was simply know as inmate number: 796028
Ruble was arrested by a bond agent after skipping to Flint, MI area motel on those state charges, but he was captured and pleaded no contest – and given 5 years – paroled after four years.
The plea agreements states:
During calendar year 2010, the Defendant resided in Kent County in the Western District of Michigan, and had gross income of approximately $114,602.29 related to his medical practice.On or about April 15, 2011, the Defendant filed an extension to file his federal income tax return for 2010, extending his time to file to October 15, 2011.
Based on his gross income for 2010, the Defendant knew that he had the legal obligation to timely file a tax return for 2010, but he did not do so by October 15, 2011.
The federal prosecutor in the case is Assistant U.S. Attorney Raymond E. Beckering III in Grand Rapids, MI. Ruble’s defense attorney is J. Terrance Dillon.
Ruble was also investigated for improperly writing painkiller prescriptions, stated a Feb. 2011 story on MLive states
Federal agents investigated Ruble for “allegedly prescribing painkillers to people without cause and taking cash in exchange for authorizing the prescriptions” – and allegedly “wrote prescriptions of Adderall, Tramadol and Suboxone to an undercover police officer over three months,” stated the MLive story. No federal charges were filed.
U.P. Breaking News is checking to see if his license to practice medicine has been revoked.
