VICTORVILLE - (INT) - A medical doctor was arrested Wednesday on federal charges of illegally selling prescriptions without a legitimate medical purpose to undercover operatives who visited the physician’s Victorville medical office.

Wendell Mark Street, 66, was arrested without incident at his residence in Las Vegas by special agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration.

It was the result of a 10-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury earlier this month. The indictment charges Street with five counts of illegally distributing the painkiller oxycodone and five counts of illegally distributing the tranquilizer alprazolam (often sold under the brand name Xanax).

Street allegedly issued the prescriptions in 2013 in exchange for cash.
