Dentist Withdraws Plea Deal

The Farrell dentist had reached a plea agreement with the state Attorney General’s Office to plead guilty to insurance fraud and acquiring a drug by fraud as part of an investigation that Dr. Lowe and three former employees obtained Hydrocodone with medical insurance and funneled the drug to her.

But, the deal went south when Dr. Lowe, 47, of 1801 Roemer Blvd., Farrell, learned that the plea agreement, which included a felony drug charge, would result in a 10-year suspension of her dentistry license by the State Dental Board, according to court documents filed by her attorney, Joshua D. Lock of Harrisburg.
