(BORDEN) - A Southern Indiana dentist is facing eight counts of possession of a controlled substance.
A state trooper pulled David Lapsey over in Borden after he reportedly did not stop at a stop sign.
Investigators said they found pills throughout the car including hydrocodone, codeine and clonazepam.
Lapsey reportedly told the trooper he didn't have a prescription for the pills and sometimes gave pills to patients to relax them.
"It's very unfortunate when an individual puts in all the years and hard work and money to get these advanced degrees, and then commit actions which could endanger all of that hard work and accomplishments that they've been able to do," Clark County Prosecutor Jeremy Mull says.
Lapsey is a dentist in New Albany.
Investigators say a woman was with him when he was arrested and she admitted to eating marijuana.
The Board of Dentistry has been told about the charges.
