Rutland Dentist Peter B. Gray has agreed to pay up to $50,000 in fines to a United States District Court for violating the Controlled Substances Act after a 2007 drug test found that Gray had large amounts of a narcotic pain killer in his system. Gray has completed a drug rehabilitation program and gotten his back fixed, the reason for which he says he began taking the painkillers in the first place. The day after the lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court, Gray settled and sought help and agreed to allow the government unimpeded access to his dental practice.
