2 Hospital Administrators Face Hot-Check Charges

Authorities say 61-year-old Robert Hicks of Oklahoma City and 63-year-old Arthur Clyde Benson Jr. of Richardson, Texas, wrote two checks for nearly $8,900 for salary payments to Dr. George Gray of Little Rock. Hicks serves as the chief operating officer for the hospital while Benson is the administrator.
The two checks were drawn on the First State Bank of De Queen for $3,000 and $5,838. Prosecutor Bryan Chesshir says his office has heard complaints about insufficient funds concerning the hospital, but few people have brought the checks to him.
The arraignment date to enter a plea will be Nov. 30.

another real reason we need universal healthcare people. The hospital would have received payment already on patients they have served. The way it is , they are lucky to collect 35 percent of what they are owed. No wonder there checks are bad. We need universal healthcare NOW. The majority of people are for it, they are just not as outspoken about it.
