New Cassel Man Ran Fake Dentist Office, Cops Say


A 46-year-old man has been accused of practicing dentistry out of his New Cassel home without having formal medical or dental training.

Nassau County police arrested Manuel Carranza on Wednesday after authorities received a tip about the alleged unlicensed dental practice.

Police said the office was equipped with dental equipment and various prescription medications. Two stun guns were also found inside.
