Dentist Named Toothaker Accused of Stealing Dental Gold (From VA)
According to VA officials and the affidavit filed with the police, on July 26, 2013, Dr. Toothaker allegedly opened a locked cabinet where the office kept gold, other precious metals, and medical supplies. The incident was witnessed by a lab technician who saw Dr. Toothaker put the stolen items in a black and gold gym bag and then take the bag to his car. The dentist then reportedly left the building with the stolen items still in his possession. People at the VA’s office soon found out that the precious items were missing and immediately reported the incident to the police. Fortunately for them, that was around the same time that Dr. Toothaker was placing the stolen goods in his car.
According to official court documents, the police stopped Dr. Toothaker in his car while he was still on VA’s property and asked to search his vehicle. Instead of fighting tooth and nail with the police, the dentist consented. Upon searching, the police found the stolen items in the black and gold gym bag on the front seat of the car.
Interestingly, the dentist played innocent and told the police that he had absolutely no idea about how the precious things got into his bag. Our guess is that the good doctor was probably high on laughing gas, but sadly for him, the VA and the police did not find it a laughing matter.
The 58-year-old dentist has pleaded “not guilty” to the accusations and has taken to Facebook to prove his innocence. Dr. Toothaker said in a post on his Facebook page: “Thank you to my friends who have sent us words of encouragement after some recent false accusations that have been published, broadcast and posted. Nobody even asked me for a comment or included any of our affadavits. The Prince of Darkness is alive and well and would love nothing more than to see the good name of one of Christ’s believers ruined. Bring it on… if that’s what it takes me to love you more… Jesus bring the Rain.”
