Former Tigard doctor gets probation in Washington County drug case

A former Tigard doctor who was said to be impersonating a surgeon last year in Dubai has been sentenced to probation in Washington County Circuit Court in a drug case from 2003.

In a stipulated facts trial, Steven Gabriel Moos, 41, was convicted Tuesday of one count of possession of methamphetamine and one count of endangering the welfare of a minor, Deputy District Attorney Jason Weiner said. The stipulated facts trial, Weiner said, is similar to a guilty plea in that Moos agreed to evidence against him.

Because of his agreeing to a stipulated facts trial, Moos had his remaining charges of possession of cocaine, possession of ketamine and three counts of endangering the welfare of a minor dismissed, Weiner said. The four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor that Moos was charged with stemmed from Moos' four minor children living in a place with illegal drug activity, Weiner said.

Moos was sentenced to 18 months of formal probation and 60 days in jail, but received credit for time served and will not serve any additional jail time, Weiner said. His probation conditions, Weiner said, include his having to undergo drug treatment and parenting classes.

Moos fled the country in 2004 with a pending federal case in addition to the Washington County case. In federal court, he was accused of misbranding medication, making false statements to the Drug Enforcement Administration and obtaining controlled substances by misrepresentation.

Moos' federal case resolved in December when he entered a plea deal and was released from federal custody. Sentencing for the federal case is set for April 18 before U.S. District Judge Garr M. King.

He faces a statutory maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. But under federal sentencing guidelines, he faces no more than six months behind bars.

The former doctor surfaced last April in Dubai, where authorities arrested and accused him of impersonating a renowned cosmetic surgeon from Washington, D.C. Moos was reportedly performing cosmetic surgeries on patients at his kitchen table.

When you are pumping through that many, no time to slack off. Move your arse!

Thank you! My wine budget is very small, and a nice glass here and there is a nice little perk. In the states I tried to stay under $8 a bottle (trader joes, grocery stores and living in Washington state helped)...here trying to stay under 100rmb has been painful. So thank you..I do enjoy a good Malbec and am now looking for a good buttery rich chardonnay without breaking my "allowance"

Ask his parents. That's his name, on his American birth certificate

The issue is massive. I believe that the guy quoted in the article did take it to a used car dealer-he was offered 1/5 of the price he would have been easily able to get before the law change. Now maybe you can kiss away 80% of the potential value of your car without it hurting, but most can't.

And their car is quite new-what if it's an older Cherokee-which many expats have here. The second hand dealers won't even take them. What will you do then?

disgusting although creative
