Three Galt Men Arrested For Practicing Dentistry Without License

GALT (CBS13) -- Three men were arrested Monday on suspicion of practicing dentistry without a license out of a residence in Galt after officers responded to an anonymous tip.

Galt Police officers went to an apartment complex in the 700 block of A Street at about 1 p.m. and noticed numerous tools, medications and other items that appeared to be for use in dentistry, according to a press release on Tuesday.

Officers also found a bloody tooth apparently from a patient's recent extraction. Items were discovered mostly in the kitchen and the living room with a makeshift dental chair, police said.

Detectives arrived at the College Lane Apartments to assist with the investigation and eventually arrested three men: Luis Galvez, 31, Anselmo Rubio, 61, and Juan Rubio, 21.

Police acted on an anonymous tip from someone who shared a complaint of an infection after having a tooth pulled at the residence.

Police received a similar complaint in 2007 and the subjects fled to Mexico. They believe these may be the same individuals.
