DCist wasn’t aware that rogue dentists were such a problem in our area but there’s been another dental raid. Virginia state police have arrested a dentist in Manassas who was operating without a license. The AP, via WTOP, says that the dentist, a Colombian immigrant, would frequent locations where there were many Spanish-speaking residents and slip business cards under the windshields of cars advertising his services.
This is the second maverick dental sting operation in as many months. Back in the District, the FBI and narcotics agents raided a house in Columbia Heights in June. Their target: Carlos Vargas. In that raid, authorties failed to capture the dentist, but got his wife.
