ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) – A former central Indiana doctor has been sentenced to six years on probation after pleading guilty to seven charges of dealing in drugs, perjury and voyeurism.

Forty-six-year-old Eric Jones of Pendleton was sentenced Monday in Madison Circuit Court after he pleaded guilty to two felony counts of dealing in a controlled substance and one count each of unlawful dispensation of a controlled substance, perjury, and obtaining a controlled substance by fraud. He also pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges of voyeurism.
