Central West End Chiropractor Mitchell Davis Sentenced in Cop Bribery Scheme
A cop-bribing chiropractor has been sentenced to two and half years in federal prison and ordered to pay more than $1 million.
Mitchell Davis, 50, ran an illegal update on the old ambulance-chaser scheme, paying St. Louis police officers to turn over personal information they acquired on the job, including phone numbers of car crash victims. Davis used the information to solicit the injured people for treatment at his clinic in the Central West End.
Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office say he was also pumping up the costs to scam insurers into paying more.
The crooked chiropractor's wife, Galina Davis, was also involved, authorities say, acting as the point person to recruit cops who were willing to give them un-redacted police reports in exchange for cash. The Davis' would pay $6.50 to $10 per report, and they bought as many as 200 per week, according to court documents.
