OKLAHOMA CITY — A former doctor arrested in Kilgore has a preliminary hearing in Oklahoma Wednesday. 71-year-old William Martin Valuck had already served time in federal prison before moving to Kilgore. D-E-A agents arrested him in December and extradited him back to Oklahoma. KETK reports prosecutors dropped one murder charge and 14 drug charges. He still faces more than sixty felonies and eight murders. Officials say Valuck wrote more prescriptions than any other doctor in the state and at least eight of those resulted in fatal overdoses.
