Albuquerque, NM – This morning, a Second Judicial District Court judge accepted a plea agreement secured by Attorney General Raúl Torrez against former New Mexico State Police Officer Morgan Ortiz. Ortiz—who was previously charged with DWI—pleaded guilty alongside his co-defendant, Dr. Keith Levitt, to multiple felony charges, including two counts of Medicaid Fraud over $20,000, Conspiracy to Commit Identity Theft, and Practicing Medicine Without a License. Both defendants face up to three years in prison and have been ordered to pay more than $1.5 million in restitution. Levitt recently entered a nearly identical agreement.
