A seventh individual has been charged in connection to the Dr. Michael Reed criminal case. Dr. Reed, a prominent Panama City surgeon has been accused of conspiracy to possess and distribute cocaine. Six other men have also been charged in connection to the crime. Most recently a seventh individual, 35-year old Amy Cooper has been charged with using a telephone to facilitate a drug trafficking offense. Cooper also happens to be Dr. Reed's girlfriend.
A criminal investigation took place between 2006 and May 27 of this year. The last day of the investigation is coincidentally the same day Cooper allegedly made the telephone call in question. Reports state that Reed and Cooper booked a cruise to Belize to meet co-conspirators and obtain large quantities of cocaine. Allegedly Reed had $30,000 worth of cocaine delivered to him in February. In May, Dr. Reed was awaiting a second delivery of cocaine at his home when authorities took him into custody.
Rumors have circulated that Cooper has become an informant for federal agents in an effort to convict Reed. This is a rumor that her attorney vigorously denies. Her attorney also states that Cooper has not yet accepted any sort of government plea deal. The trial has been set for October.
