An El Paso man is accused of writing prescriptions in a West Virginia makeshift office that wasn't furnished with medical equipment, the Charleston Daily Mail reports.

Dr. Fernando Gonzalez-Ramos, 47, of El Paso was arrested Sunday morning after federal, state and local authorities showed up with a search warrant.

The Daily Mail reported that Gonzalez-Ramos, a practicing physician at the VA Hospital in El Paso, gave a patient who was secretly working with authorities a prescription of hydrocodone after the patient paid him $450 in cash.

"We have learned about the charges against Dr. Fernando Gonzalez-Ramos. We are conducting an internal review to ensure if his practice here at the VA was in compliance with VHA directives. We want all patients who have an appointment to know they will be seen by another provider and we will be speaking with them individually. "
