Marion County sheriff’s deputies arrested an Ocala man Tuesday and charged him with practicing veterinary medicine without a license.
And after taking 61-year-old Theodore Joseph Oroski into custody, he was charged with an additional eight counts for violating probation. Those include fraud under $20,000, fraudulently obtaining a license and six counts of forging veterinarians’ certificates.
Oroski had been arrested in March and charged with 38 crimes associated with practicing veterinary medicine without a license. Thirty-five of those charges centered on forgery or altering of certificates of veterinarian inspection or other documents, Marion County Jail records show.
Oroski had been placed on probation July 17 and it was scheduled to end on July 16, 2021. Instead, he’s being held on $2,000 bond on the charge of practicing veterinarian medicine without a license and no bond on the probation violations. He is scheduled to appear before a Marion County judge on Sept. 25 at 9 a.m. to answer to the charges.
