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":171444,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[69328,69289,69325,69288,10348,160,162,161,69327,12323,69326],"class_list":{"0":"post-171443","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-plano","8":"tag-felony-charge","9":"tag-kelly-buck","10":"tag-kelly-buck-image","11":"tag-pediatric-dental-office","12":"tag-pediatric-dentistry","13":"tag-plano","14":"tag-plano-headlines","15":"tag-plano-news","16":"tag-sam-boyle","17":"tag-sherman","18":"tag-sherman-police"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171443","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=171443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171443\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
