Federal agents are searching for an Indiana doctor who went on the lam following his trial on charges of bilking insurance companies and patients through a bogus allergy testing scheme.
Hartley Thomas of Valparaiso, Indiana, was absent on Monday, Nov. 10, when a federal court jury’s verdict convicting him of wire fraud and other charges was unsealed in Chicago.
He was acquitted of 13 charges.
Judge Virginia Kendall had already issued an arrest warrant on Oct. 31 when Thomas was a no-show.
Thomas’s attorneys call him an innocent dupe and not a swindler.
