(WNDU) &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Court documents say investigators received a letter raising concerns about a woman\u2019s welfare, claiming Close was injecting her with IV NAD treatments, which is commonly marketed for wellness but should be done under appropriate oversight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Police say a detective went to the home and found syringes and vials inside Close\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The charging paperwork also says officers found multiple prescription drugs in that vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Warsaw police say this is an ongoing investigation and there could be more suspects. If you have any more information, you\u2019re asked to call 574-372-9515.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Stay up to date on local news with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wndu.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wndu.com\/\">WNDU<\/a> on-air and online.
