Outcome: Michael Paul Good, D.V.M., owner of Town & Country Veterinary Clinic in Marietta, Georgia, paid a $90,000 civil penalty to resolve DEA allegations that he violated the recordkeeping requirements of the Controlled Substances Act, including failing to keep accurate records and failing to report thefts or losses of controlled substances as required by federal law.

Michael Paul Good, D.V.M. owned and operated Town & Country Veterinary Clinic in Marietta, Georgia. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia announced a civil settlement in which Good agreed to pay $90,000 to resolve allegations that he violated controlled substance recordkeeping requirements under the CSA.

Among other violations, Good failed to keep accurate records of controlled substances at his veterinary clinic and failed to report thefts or losses of controlled substances as required by federal law. Under DEA regulations, veterinarians must maintain complete and accurate records of all controlled substance transactions, and must report any theft or significant loss to the DEA within a specified timeframe.

Good did not admit to any criminal violations of the Controlled Substances Act as part of the civil settlement. The claims settled were allegations only. The case was investigated by the DEA with assistance from the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency and the Georgia Veterinary Board.

How Crucible Prevents This

Good failed to keep accurate records and failed to report thefts or losses — two separate but equally foundational controlled substance compliance requirements. Crucible's controlled substance inventory module and mandatory theft/loss reporting workflow (with 14-day trigger for confirmed theft) would have automated both requirements, preventing the recordkeeping gaps and unreported losses that triggered the DEA investigation.
