taken<\/a> into custody Monday at Pediatric Dentistry of Sherman in the 2800 block of Loy Lake Road. Police responded around noon to a report of an impaired dentist who had been treating patients since the office opened that morning.<\/p>\n\u201cThe caller alleged that there was a dentist practicing and showing signs of intoxication,\u201d Sherman police Lt. Sam Boyle said.<\/p>\n
Officers found Buck exhibiting visible signs of impairment, and she failed a field sobriety test, Boyle added. She faces a charge of performing surgery while intoxicated, a state jail felony that carries a potential penalty of up to two years in prison if convicted.<\/p>\n
Investigators learned Buck was not a full-time employee but a temporary contractor assigned through a staffing agency. As part of the probe, detectives secured a search warrant for a blood draw to determine if the intoxication involved alcohol or drugs, though specifics were not released.<\/p>\n
Buck, licensed to practice dentistry in Texas since 2016 with no previous disciplinary issues, was held at the Grayson County Jail and released<\/a> Tuesday after posting $10,000 bond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A North Texas dentist has been arrested on a felony charge after authorities said she performed surgeries on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[69290,69283,69294,69282,69285,69289,69291,69288,69292,69284,160,69295,162,161,69286,69287,69293],"class_list":["post-171298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-plano","tag-dentist-arrested-intoxicated","tag-grayson-county-dentist-jail","tag-impaired-dentist-patients","tag-intoxicated-dentist","tag-intoxicated-dentist-blood-draw","tag-kelly-buck","tag-kelly-buck-dentist-arrest","tag-pediatric-dental-office","tag-pediatric-dentistry-sherman","tag-performing-surgery-while-intoxicated","tag-plano","tag-plano-dentist-arrested","tag-plano-headlines","tag-plano-news","tag-sherman-texas","tag-sherman-tx-dental-office-incident","tag-texas-dentist-felony-charge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
