Mayor arrested in raid on home, firing twice at deputies who came to assist

bet he's white so no one died

PORT RICHEY FL — Fraud detectives are investigating whether Mayor Dale Massad, arrested during a raid on his home Thursday morning, received insurance payments for treating patients without a medical license.

Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis announced Thursday he has directed the Department of Financial Services to determine whether Massad billed insurance companies for medical procedures he is accused of conducting at his home.

Massad turned in his license 37 years ago after the state Board of Medicine filed several counts against him in the death of a 3-year-old patient — malpractice, faulty record-keeping, human experimentation without consent and delegating duties to an unqualified person.
