A Seymour man who previously was arrested for practicing dentistry without a license in March was found committing the same crimes again, police report.
Fredy P. Felipe-Pascual, 31, was arrested early Sunday morning for practicing dentistry without a license, a Level 6 felony, and criminal recklessness, a Class A misdemeanor, according to a news release from Lt. C.J. Foster.
Felipe-Pascual had been previously arrested for the same charges by investigators with the Seymour Police Department on March 21.
At the time of his first arrest, Felipe-Pascual’s bond was set at $1,500, which was entered into the county clerk’s office on March 25, according to case records. The case is still pending in the Jackson Circuit Court.
On Sept. 28, patrol officers with the Seymour Police Department responded to a medical call that led officers to begin an investigation into someone practicing dentistry without a license, according to an incident release from Lt. C.J. Foster. He also said Felipe-Pascual’s citizenship status is unknown.
Information obtained by patrol officers enabled them to obtain a Jackson Superior Court 1 search warrant to search a location in the Village Green Mobile Home Park, Foster said.
During that search, officers located numerous dental instruments, medications and rogue dental instruments. All items located were collected as evidence, Foster said.
Felipe-Pascual was taken to the Jackson County Jail and remanded into the custody of the jail division. A bond is currently pending, according to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office website.
A pre-trial conference for the first set of charges will be at 11 a.m. Oct. 25 at the Jackson County Judicial Center, 109 S. Sugar St., Brownstown.
