TUCKER, Ga. -- Federal agents raided a pain clinic in Tucker for the second time in three weeks and arrested a doctor.
    
Officials said Dr. Michael Assevero was charged with conspiracy to distribute oxycodone during the raid Tuesday at Southern Health Management. The clinic owner and a worker were arrested during a raid June 14.
    
Federal drug enforcement agent Chuvalo Truesdell told WXIA-TV that the place reminded him of a crack house from the 1980s. Owner Jeffrey Gonzalez said the pain clinic is not a pill mill.
