LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Gwinnett County police have charged a man with practicing medicine without a license after dental equipment was found in his apartment.
Officers arrested 29-year-old Jesus Urdaneta-Casanova Wednesday, said Corp. Darren Moloney, a spokesman for the police after investigators were called to the Wesley Place apartment complex in Lawrenceville.
Maintenance workers entered the apartment to repair a water leak when they saw dental equipment and called police, Moloney said.
