Keene doctor caught on camera urinating on door of dentist who testified against him say police


Dr. DONALD A. HOLSHUH 

KEENE - A Keene dermatologist, whose license is under suspension, was arrested Wednesday on a witness tampering charge accusing him of urinating on an office door of a dentist who testified against him at a state Board of Medicine hearing in 2011.

Unknown to Dr. Donald A. Holshuh, 63, of Surry, a surveillance camera recorded him on Aug. 14, 2012, urinating on the door to the 650 Court St. office of Dr. Mark Wirant, according to Keene police. Property owners set up the surveillance system after a prior incident, police said.

Det. Lt. James McLaughlin said Holshuh is charged with witness tampering because of the retaliatory nature of the act.

Holshuh's medical license was temporarily suspended in April 2011 when he was hospitalized after becoming inebriated and creating a disturbance at a local hotel.

Later, the board suspended his license for a year after a hearing that determined he drove while intoxicated, altered medical records, used anti-anxiety medication Lorazepam and abandoned patients by closing his practice without telling them.

Dr. Holshuh admitted he was an alcoholic and denied other allegations. He must meet certain conditions to had his medical license restored including undergoing treatment at the New Hampshire Professionals Health Program and being subject to random drug and alcohol testing.

Another hearing before the medical board is set for April 3.

What's next: Dr. Holshuh is being held on $10,000 cash bail pending arraignment today in 8th Circuit Court, Keene District Division.
