(Anchorage, AK) – On June 6, following a multi-week trial, an Anchorage jury found 57-year-old Kris Rhodes Kile guilty of 10 counts of felony Second-Degree Misconduct Involving a Controlled Substance and 2 counts of Third-Degree Misconduct Involving a Controlled Substance. The evidence at trial established that Kile prescribed fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, and diazepam to six different patients between June 2016 and November 2018 without any medical purpose.
