The attorney for a Saginaw Township doctor facing federal drug charges has asked a judge to ease one of the restrictions of his client’s pre-trial release. Ruth A. Buck was charged in June 2010 with 32 counts of unlawfully distributing controlled substances. She was released on bond on the condition that she surrender her medical license. Now, her attorney, Clinton Township-based Carl J. Marlinga, has asked that Buck be allowed to use her medical license as long as she doesn’t have any contact with patients. “While being unemployed and out of jail is better than being unemployed and in jail, it may be possible for defendant to support herself so as not to be a burden on others if she were allowed to use her M.D. degree in a job that did not involved patient contact.”
