MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities raided the office of a Bartlett doctor who has had previous state sanctions issued against his medical license.

Federal, state and local agents removed files from the office of Dr. Michael A. Patterson on Wednesday, but The Commercial Appeal reported Patterson was not at the office.

The agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Shelby County Sheriff's Office and the federal Drug Enforcement Agency would not comment at the scene, the newspaper reported. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Memphis and the TBI also would not comment on the investigation when reached by The Associated Press.

A phone number listed for Patterson's office had been disconnected on Thursday morning when the AP tried to reach the doctor.
