North Texas doctor arrested, accused of assaulting 4 patients during appointments: police
A North Texas doctor was arrested on four counts of indecent assault after patients reported he assaulted them during doctor’s appointments, the Denton Police Department said in a news release Wednesday.
In May, a woman reported that Dr. Ikenna Adugba, a 64-year-old Coppell resident, inappropriately touched her during a doctor’s appointment at First Care Medical Center in Denton, according to the release.
Due to Adugba’s position as a Medicaid provider and physician, Denton police detectives contacted the Texas Office of the Attorney General Medicaid Fraud Control Unit to assist with the case.
During the investigation, detectives identified three other patients who reported Adugba assaulted them during doctor’s appointments between 2022 and 2023, the release says.
