Louisiana psych investigated for alcohol and drug abuse.

A Louisiana psychiatrist's license has been put on probation for five years because of his history of alcohol and drug abuse, according to the state's medical licensing board. Dr. Stephen Rodney Kirkham's history of drug and alcohol problems prompted the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners to conduct an investigation. According to the agency's five-page report, it found enough evidence to charge him with violating the state Medical Practice Act. He faces far more heavy penalties if breaks the conditions of his no contest plea.
