Mayor arrested in raid on home, firing twice at deputies who came to assist

bet he's white so no one died

PORT RICHEY FL — Fraud detectives are investigating whether Mayor Dale Massad, arrested during a raid on his home Thursday morning, received insurance payments for treating patients without a medical license.

Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis announced Thursday he has directed the Department of Financial Services to determine whether Massad billed insurance companies for medical procedures he is accused of conducting at his home.

Massad turned in his license 37 years ago after the state Board of Medicine filed several counts against him in the death of a 3-year-old patient — malpractice, faulty record-keeping, human experimentation without consent and delegating duties to an unqualified person.

He was arrested at his home Thursday by agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement but not before firing twice at deputies who came to assist, the Paco County Sheriff’s Office said.

POC gardener he'd be deader than a piece of concrete.

flash bangs, door knockdowns, and shots at the police he gets to talk on the phone while having a gun in his hand.

I watched Grady Judd yack about this this morning. Not sure what he said though.

No one was injured. If that had been an African American man the title of the article would be more like:

"Black Ex-Doctor Killed in Hail of Gunfire"

Like the CMS should just move their fraud division headquarters to Orlando at this point and yes, if he had been Not-White, he'd be dead.
