DeKalb County police and agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration raided a suspected "pill mill" operating out of an office building on Northlake Parkway Thursday morning.
The raid took place at Southern Health Management, Channel 2 Action News reported.
According to Georgia Secretary of State filings, the business is registered to Jeffrey Gonzalez. Gonzalez was booked into the DeKalb County Jail and remains in custody, according to jail data. Bond has not been set.
Gonzalez told the station his clinic was not involved in illegal activities.
"We medicate people for the right reasons, not for the wrong reasons," Gonzalez said as he was being arrested.
The station reported that a half-dozen people had been detained, but it was not immediately known how many would face charges.
A spokesman for the DEA, reached by the AJC at noon Thursday, would only say that agents were "conducting an investigation at a health management facility."
Two weapons and two vehicles were seized during the raid, Channel 2 reported Friday. Officers also said they found $180,000 at the business.
