Doctor accused of exchanging prescription drugs for sex arrested for trying to purchase rifle

A prominent Denver doctor who was arrested earlier this year for allegedly providing prescription drugs to strippers in exchange for sex is in jail again.

Investigators say Dr. Phillip Mallory tried to illegally purchase a high powered assault rifle at an Aurora gun store on May 26th.

Mallory is out on bond in the drug case and is not allowed to possess or control a firearm per his conditions of release.

The Arapahoe County District Attorney's office says that Mallory lied on an ATF application form he was required to fill out before purchasing the rifle.

A question on the form asks whether you are "under indictment or information in any court for a felony or any other crime, for which the judge could imprison (you) for more than one year." An information - according to the court records - is a formal accusation of a crime by a prosecutor.

Mallory allegedly answered "No" to that question - even though the charges he is facing in his drug case could get him more than 30 years in prison.

Court records show a Colorado Bureau of Investigation background check caused the store - L&M Firing Line - to deny Mallory's purchase.

Two days later, employees of L & M Firing Line became suspicious when a woman came in attempting to buy the same rifle. The rifle was a Bushmaster AR-15 - which is described as being similar to the M-16 that soldiers use in Iraq.

After that purchase was also denied after a background check, the suspicious employees followed the lady outside. There, the court records show they saw the woman meet with Dr. Mallory who was waiting at a neighboring business.

After the authorities were notified of the attempted purchase, Mallory was arrested. Prosecutors asked that his bond - which was previously set at $10,000 - be raised to $1 million based on the suspicious activity. A judge refused that request and instead set Mallory's bond at $100,000. On Monday evening, Mallory had yet to post the bond and was still in the Arapahoe County Jail. Mallory has a hearing in his drug case scheduled for Thursday.

An Arapahoe County District Attorney spokesperson says investigators don't know why Mallory was allegedly trying to obtain the rifle.

Whoops! Wonder if the good Dr. was going to violate his "do no harm" clause???

[Puppage]

a high powered assault rifle

Ugh! assault rifles ARE NOT high powered.

Besides, assault is an action. NOT a device.

[RAY]

Screw loose!?

[Spok]

His bond needs to be revoked-yesterday. But he'll more likely continue to wander freely until he finds another way to get a gun, kills somebody, and the loonies can whine about more gun laws.

[Judge Roy]

anyone know where one could get an asalt and battery gun.

Breast Friend
When a stripper decided to get something off her chest, it landed on this doctor.
By Luke Turf

Mike Gorman

 

A Diamond Cabaret stripper with a new set of breasts found herself addicted to Percocet, a painkiller her doctor would no longer prescribe. That's when a fellow dancer told her about Dr. Phillip Mallory and his prescriptions-for-porno deal.

The two strippers called Mallory, who cruised over to the Diamond and wrote a scrip for each girl. When the doctor asked the first stripper what she was willing to do for more drugs, she already knew what he had in mind.

Almost every week for the next four months, the stripper would visit the doctor's hotel room -- number 413 at the Marriott on South Colorado Boulevard -- in the late afternoon. Mallory would have lingerie waiting for her, and the stripper would put on the sexy outfit. The good doctor would engage in some photographic foreplay as the lingerie came off before shifting from still images to video. At that point, he also shifted from director to co-star of the amateur porn.

Although the stripper eventually left the Diamond for another strip joint, Shotgun Willie's, she continued to see Mallory. So did other strippers: His computer files held videos and pictures of 25 or 30 women, including some she recognized. Some shots showed girls having sex with the doctor, some showed girls getting down together. Mallory also had a device that could project the homemade movies onto the hotel-room wall.

After sex, the doctor would break out the black bag in which he kept two scrip pads and write the stripper two Percocet prescriptions totaling seventy pills. When she asked for another, he'd sometimes write a third prescription in the name of a friend or her brother, telling her to go to different pharmacies every time. "If anyone asks," the stripper said the doctor told her, "say you saw me in the emergency room."

He'd also give her $150.

One time the doctor wrote the stripper a prescription in the parking lot of the adult store next to Shotgun Willie's. They didn't have sex, but she promised to make it up to him.

Police heard all of these things about Dr. Mallory after they arrested the 29-year-old stripper in July 2004 for domestic violence and possession of suspected cocaine. Telling the cops she was worried about what effect the charges might have in her custody battle for her kids, she started spilling stories about the pills-for-porno business. She said that she was addicted to painkillers and that the doctor knew it. She didn't want to have sex with him, she told the cops, but she had to in order to get the pills she needed to support her six-a-day habit. She never had sex for free, she added.

She told the cops that they could verify everything she'd said through the doctor's computers, and maybe the prescription transactions. And she gave them a couple of the old pill bottles from Mallory's prescriptions -- all covered by her insurance.

Mallory has been on screen before, but usually with more clothes on. The former Army surgeon worked in Denver hospitals as a trauma surgeon. At Swedish Medical Center, he operated on seventeen-year-old Anne Marie Hochhalter after the shootings at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. The following year, he saved a Highlands Ranch boy who was pierced by a two-by-four after a car crash threw him onto a fence. Mallory grabbed a fire-department saw and cut off the board protruding from the boy's back so he could lie on the operating-room table. That operation earned Mallory an appearance on Oprah Winfrey's show.

Researching the stripper's allegations, police discovered that Mallory had received a letter of admonition from the Colorado Board of Medical Examiners in March 2004, after he provided a prescription for fifty Vicodin to another woman working at Shotgun Willie's. The prescription was in the name of the woman's daughter, a girl he'd never spoken to, much less examined.

Armed with a search warrant, on July 22 a law-enforcement collaborative including members of the South Metro Drug Task Force, the Denver Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration knocked on the doctor's hotel-room door. Mallory stepped out, and the cops stepped in.

The standard-looking hotel room held a bed, desk, dresser and air conditioner. But as police began searching the place, the image of a woman's face printed out on one of several printers in the room. The doctor's projection device sat on top of the air conditioner, and on the bed was a black case containing two of the five cameras that authorities eventually located in the room, in addition to a bag of digital cameras they found in his 2001 Lincoln Continental parked outside. On a nightstand was a television equipped to play DVDs and videos; there was a DVD burner on the floor. Among the doctor's other belongings were two computers, three tubes of sex lube, a bunch of condoms, several blank photo albums, more than six blank prescription pads, a bag of lingerie and a Shotgun Willie's ID card.

Authorities also confiscated 103 sixty-minute recordings labeled with various names and events; at least 61 of them featured the doctor having sex with assorted women. Several thousand still images, of various women posing and engaging in sexual acts with the doctor, were contained in Mallory's computer.

When DEA agents took Mallory into another room for questioning, he said he hadn't done surgery since May. He admitted giving a stripper Vicodin or Percocet after her boob job without examining her, though he had made a "legitimate basis of pain" determination after seeing the scars on her breasts at Shotgun Willie's. He told agents that he wrote her a scrip for thirty pills every couple of weeks for two or three months -- but never more than one per week. He had no sexual relationship with the stripper, he added.

According to police reports, Mallory said he had the stripper's records at his home in Centennial, but since he'd never seen her in a medical office, the records were more like notes. He admitted he might have given her a scrip in her brother's name -- for insurance purposes. Other than this girl and another stripper, he'd never written scrips for anyone at Shotgun's or the Diamond.

The doctor agreed to voluntarily give up his license to prescribe meds and turned over his remaining scrip pads to police. He admitted he'd given the stripper $150 for sex, but not to writing scrips for porno or sex. "That would be immoral," he told the officers.

One of the tapes now in the authorities' possession was evidently filmed outside of Shotgun Willie's, where the doctor asks the women to flash. "Give me what I need and we'll flash," one of the women says, then makes a reference to Valium and Xanax.

Another tape shows Mallory counting out cash for a woman he'd apparently just had sex with. When the woman asks about getting prescriptions for Valium, too, the doctor responds that he doesn't have prescription pad but will call it in for her. The girl asks for two scrips, saying she'll have a better day. "You'd have an even better day with three," the doctor replies. "I know you."

Mallory was arrested on a warrant last month. He's now facing eight felony charges for the prescriptions and two felony charges for criminal impersonation. A hearing is scheduled for April 26 in Arapahoe County.

In the meantime, the doctor is out -- on a $10,000 bond.

10-1 the lady's a stripper....

[AdamSelene235]

NOT high powered

The State of Colorado does not consider .223 to be powerful enough for deer hunting.

[2banana]

But making porno is a constitutional protected right...

[Puppage]

The State of Colorado does not consider .223 to be powerful enough for deer hunting

Thank you. Exactly my point.

[Brilliant]

"After that purchase was also denied after a background check, the suspicious employees followed the lady outside. There, the court records show they saw the woman meet with Dr. Mallory who was waiting at a neighboring business."

It just shows how worthless the gun control laws are. If you can't buy a gun because you're a mental case or a felon, then get some bimbo to do it for you.

[SIDENET]

In the meantime, the doctor is out -- on a $10,000 bond.

Time to leave the country, pal.

[D Rider]

Ugh! assault rifles ARE NOT high powered.

While I agree with you,... any centerfire rifle cartridge seems to be considered high-powered these days. Even that stupid .22 that they use in the AR-15/M16.

[Dead Corpse]

Without Drug Control laws and Gun Control laws, this would have been a barter/trade deal and nothing more. "Acts of capitalism between consenting adults", even if distasteful on several levels.

[af_vet_1981]

His bond needs to be revoked-yesterday. But he'll more likely continue to wander freely until he finds another way to get a gun, kills somebody, and the loonies can whine about more gun laws.

Bump For Truth

Or you should make the judge personally liable for the doctor's subsequent actions ...

[muir_redwoods]

I never heard of a high-powered Bushmaster. Mine's just a .223

[traviskicks]

Libertarian Ping! This is what happens when a small group of people (docs) use government to attain a monoploy on a commodity. That said, the man should be able to trade voluntarily for whatever she's willing to give him. Not saying it's right, but it should be a right.

[Responsibility1st]

The old saying needs a new update:

SEX AND DRUGS AND LOCK & LOAD!!!

[Farmer Dean]

Does my G3 HK qualify as high powered?At least the doctor selected a quality weapon-my wife loves her Bushmaster AR.

[Responsibility1st]

....my wife loves her Bushmaster AR.

Gee, that's funny. Cause I love MY wife's......

OH never mind...

LMAO

[SoVaDPJ]

"Gee, that's funny. Cause I love MY wife's......"


As soon as I wipe the soda I just blew at the screen, and stop laughing, I'm going to practice being offended.

[D Rider]

Does my G3 HK qualify as high powered?

A .308?, yeah I would consider that high powered enough. I use a .308 for Elk.

[D Rider]

Oh now, I get it. Because I agreed that assult rifles are not high powered. Ok, lets rephrase,"The Standard Russian and American assault rifle cartridges are not high-powered.

Of course, that will change if the US switches to the Rem. 6.8 SPC, it's a very cool round. A .270 with about twice the energy of the .223 at 500 yds.

[RJL]

10-1 the lady's a stripper....

the woman meet with Dr. Mallory who was waiting at a neighboring business.

Yup, and 10 to 1 the "neighboring business" was a bar.
