Key West doctor arrested on alleged probation violation

A 56-year-old Key West doctor was booked into the Stock Island jail Tuesday and held without bond after investigators said he violated probation in a battery and trespassing case tied to a 2025 domestic incident.

The alleged violation centers on a court-ordered no-contact restriction. Investigators said the doctor made contact with the victim multiple times through text messages and social media despite that order, turning a probation matter into another arrest in a case already rooted in domestic conflict.

Court records also show previous probation-violation and contempt-related issues in the same case, suggesting the supervision problems did not begin with this arrest. In Monroe County, probation services run through the 16th Judicial Circuit of Florida, which oversees court administration for the Keys and handles supervision issues that can bring a defendant back before a judge.

The case puts a licensed physician into the criminal-justice system in a county where doctors are few and patients often depend on a small network of local care. An arrest on an alleged probation violation does not itself say anything about a medical license, but it does raise the kind of accountability questions that can follow a professional accused of failing to comply with court terms.

Probation violations in Monroe County can lead to a hearing, tighter supervision, jail time or additional court-ordered conditions, depending on the underlying case and what a judge finds. In a case involving a doctor, the stakes extend beyond the courtroom because a criminal matter can intersect with professional standing, patient trust and workplace coverage.

The Monroe County State Attorney’s Office prosecutes cases in the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit, and the Stock Island jail is where the doctor was taken after the Tuesday arrest. For Key West, the arrest keeps a local domestic case in the spotlight and puts the next court move at the center of the story.
