Mario Nieves Perez, 45, will be held without bail once captured for failing to appear in court yesterday. Originally, the Defendant had posted a $20,000.00 bail bond on four felony counts of practicing medicine without a license.
Since his release and failure to appear, the criminal complaint filed against Perez charges 18 counts of practicing medicine without a license, 10 counts of mayhem, and one count of elder abuse.
Perez allegedly was charging $100 for injections at a salon. The procedure performed by a doctor usually cost $500 to $2,500.00. Perez also admitted to the police in his original arrest that he was performing injections for 18 months and had done other cosmetic procedures as well.
