Former Chairman of the Arkansas State Medical Board, Brian Hyatt, was indicted on March 11 for kidnapping from 2018 to May 2022.
“Specifically, Count 1 of the 28-page Indictment alleges in detail that these individuals conspired to hold patients against their will, utilizing a variety of means, including the unlawful administration of Haldol, Ativan, and Thorazine as chemical restraints, force, threats, intimidation, and the denial of phone privileges. The Indictment alleges that these patients were held so that members of the conspiracy could bill for services that were not rendered and were not medically necessary. Finally, the Indictment alleges that the conspirators did not report patient abuse they participated in and witnessed as they were required to do,” according to a press release by the US Department of Justice.
