HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Dr. Marshall Plotka was one of three Madison County doctors arrested in 2019 after a prescription opioid takedown that spanned five states and led to the arrest of eight Alabama medical professionals.
As part of the plea agreement, Plotka admitted to making the house he owned on Chamlee Place "available for use for the purpose of unlawfully storing, distributing, or using a controlled substance." He also admitted that he paid young women to have sex with him at the home and that those women "used drugs, including methamphetamine, in the defendent's presence and with hid knowledge." Some of them had been patients at Plotka's practice.
Court documents also state that "text messages, witness testimony, and physical evidence would show that Plotka had ongoing sexual relationships with several women who stayed at Chamlee Place and that he knew they were abusing drugs there."
At the time of his arrest, Plotka practiced medicine at Phoenix Emergency Care in Huntsville. He surrendered his Alabama medical license, including his Alabama Controlled Substances Certificate (ASCS) license, in 2019. He held the ACSC license from Jan. 1, 2019 to April 1, 2019.
Plotka will serve a sentence of one year and one day. He also gave up his right to appeal his conviction and sentence and challenge his fines, restitution, and any forfeiture orders.
