Springdale police arrested Jose Duarte, 29, on Wednesday in connection wi th an illegal dentist operation they say he was running out of his Sprin gdale home on North Pleasant Street. "He had a considerable volume of equipment, some of it specialized and he had set up shop in his home, in the garage he had a lab," Officer Brian Simmons said. Investigators say Duarte used a bedroom in the house as a make-shift pati ent room. "He had a considerable number of patients and was performing a number of procedures that were fairly complex," Simmons said. Police say Duarte was allegedly performing tooth extractions, cleanings, fillings and basic bridge work at his home with out a medical certificat ion or state license. "What limited training he had was from another individual who was not a l icensed dentist," Simmons said. Police say that the majority of Duarte's clientele are Hispanic. But some members of the Latin American community say they don't see his operatio n as a bad thing if he knew what he was doing. Police say the Duarte is not a legal United States resident. He is facing felony charges for practicing dentistry without the proper credentials.
