Doctor sentenced in prescription drug case

DENVER (AP) - Federal prosecutors say a Colorado Springs doctor has been sentenced to 180 days of home detention for illegally distributing prescription narcotic drugs.

Forty-nine-year-old Peter W.S. Grigg also was sentenced Thursday to five years of probation and to forfeit assets including nearly $17,000 in cash and nine firearms. His home detention was to begin Jan. 1.

Grigg was indicted in January and pleaded guilty in August.

According to a plea agreement filed in U.S. District Court in Denver, Grigg had met with undercover police officers four times outside of his legitimate medical practice to sell them Oxycodone, Fentanyl and Ecstasy last year.
