Eastern Kentucky disability attorney Eric C. Conn was arrested Monday by the FBI and was taken to the Pike County Detention Center.

Conn is named along with former disability Judge David Black Daugherty and Clinical Psychologist Dr. Alfred Bradley Adkins in a 39 page, 18 count indictment which was unsealed Tuesday morning.

Conn is well-known in the region as "Mr. Social Security."

The Social Security Administration in 2015 ordered about 1,500 of Conn's former clients to attend hearings to determine whether they should continue receiving disability checks.

Congressional investigators suspect Conn used fraudulent information to secure the benefits.

Conn has previously denied any wrongdoing.

Conn will be arraigned Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. in United States District Court in Lexington.

Federal agents arrested Conn at his office in Stanville around 6:30 p.m. Monday and took him to the jail.
