SUMMARY: Michael Gainey, a 70-year-old family medicine doctor from Harrison County, Kentucky, was sentenced to 80 months in prison for unlawfully distributing controlled substances. Pleading guilty to seven counts, Gainey prescribed drugs like hydrocodone and oxycodone to patients with whom he had ongoing personal relationships, disregarding legitimate medical practices from 2015 through 2023. He must serve 85% of his sentence and will be supervised for three years post-release. Officials emphasized the importance of zero tolerance toward physicians abusing prescribing authority amid the opioid crisis. The DEA and Bluegrass Narcotics Taskforce investigated, with prosecution by Assistant U.S. Attorney Andy Boone.
