WARSAW, Ind. (WNDU) – A Chicago doctor is facing felony charges in Kosciusko County after police say he was giving IV treatments out of a home in Warsaw without a license to practice medicine in Indiana.
Michael Close, 62, has been charged with two counts of practicing medicine without a license and unlawful possession or use of a legend drug. He is also facing a battery charge.
Court documents say investigators received a letter raising concerns about a woman’s welfare, claiming Close was injecting her with IV NAD treatments, which is commonly marketed for wellness but should be done under appropriate oversight.
Police say a detective went to the home and found syringes and vials inside Close’s car. He admitted he injected the woman, telling police it was B12, which is a vitamin. He also admitted his medical license had been suspended.
The charging paperwork also says officers found multiple prescription drugs in that vehicle.
Warsaw police say this is an ongoing investigation and there could be more suspects. If you have any more information, you’re asked to call 574-372-9515.
