Corbin area doctor facing drug charges

A Corbin area doctor facing charges in connection with an alleged kidnapping incident in Florida in June, is facing additional drug-related charges out of Campbell County.

Dr. Morris Wilson Beebe, who is facing an accessory charge in connection with the false imprisonment of a woman at a Florida hotel in June, was arrested in Campbell County in August for possession of cocaine and heroin.

Morris Wilson Beebe, 65, of London, was arrested Aug. 26 outside a convenience store in Wilder in northern Kentucky.

According to the arrest citation, law enforcement saw assorted drug paraphernalia including syringes and a glass pipe inside the vehicle in which he saw Beebe exit before walking into the store.

The officer initiated a traffic stop, noting that Beebe was driving but a female previously seen exiting the vehicle and walking inside the store, had not returned to the vehicle.
