The U.S. District Court website reports a consent decree has been reached with former local dentist Jordan Hobel, who owned Mountain City Dental in Eckhart. Hobel had been accused of illegally prescribing opioids. He is further accused of illegally prescribing himself and other family members-some who were not his patients-controlled substances, including oxycodone. Hobel denied the Government’s allegations, but agreed not to apply for or seek the reinstatement of his DEA registration, which is required for a medical professional to prescribe controlled dangerous substances.
