CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. — A Long Island lawmaker who is also a doctor
has been arrested on drug charges after he tried to trade pills for
sex, authorities said.

Suffolk County Legislator William Spencer was arrested Tuesday on
charges of third-degree sale of a controlled substance and third-
degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Newsday
reports that he pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Wednesday at
First District Court in Central Islip.

Prosecutors said Spencer, an ear, nose and throat doctor, had a
relationship with a prostitute whom he paid with the opioid
oxycodone.
