Former Chehalis doctor David Wooten, whose alleged malicious mischief case is under way in Lewis County, was charged in October with unprofessional conduct by the state Board of Osteopathic Medicine, according to a release from the state Department of Health.

    The new charge came after Wooten, 44, didn’t comply with an order he signed when his practice license was revoked in 2006 for malpractice allegations, said Allison Cook, the public information official for the department.

    Wooten’s license will be suspended again for not complying with the order in various ways, including: failure to receive counseling from a pre-approved psychologist or psychiatrist, failure to obtain a substance evaluation and not bringing a female chaperone in with female patients. Wooten failed to acknowledge these and other rules, Cook said.

    Wooten and his wife Janna, 29, were charged with malicious mischief after they allegedly trashed their Mayfield Lake Village rental last year.

    The two closed Wooten’s family practice before their arrest and moved to their former home in Texas.

    Upon moving, police found their home completely ransacked. Walls, carpets, wall board and bathroom fixtures were removed, and the home was filled with garbage and suspected drug paraphernalia, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown at the time.

    Both Wootens pleaded innocent to the malicious mischief charges.

    State officials suspended Wooten’s license to practice in March 2006, alleging improper relationships with patients, substandard care relating to narcotics prescriptions, and threatening behavior.

    The osteopathic physician was seeing about 6,000 patients annually in his clinic before his license was revoked that year. The Department of Health reinstated his license at the end of that year, but forced him to stop prescribing narcotics.
