Update, Nov. 26, 2018: Greenville physician Paul C. Drago has successfully completed house arrest after he pleaded guilty to a 2015 domestic violence charge, court records show. He remains on three years probation, but has applied for early release from his sentence, records show.

As a result of the arrest, his medical license was suspended in South Carolina and revoked in North Carolina, state licensing records from each state show.

A Greenville doctor's bond was set at $250,000 Thursday after a woman was spit on, assaulted and forced to get on her knees and pray, authorities said.

Paul C Drago, 51, of Greenville, was charged with kidnapping and domestic violence — 1st degree, according to warrants and jail records.

Warrants allege Drago spit on and assaulted a woman and forced her onto her knees to pray.

The victim suffered injuries that required immediate medical attention, warrants said.

Drago is a practicing physician at Easley Head & Neck Surgery and performed surgeries at Cannon Memorial Hospital in Pickens, said Kathryn Gravely, Cannon hospital's director of community relations.

Gravely said hospital officials were made aware of Drago's arrest Tuesday morning.

"Cannon’s Medical Executive Committee met Tuesday evening, and a decision was made to ask Dr. Drago to take a leave of absence with Cannon," Gravely said in an email Thursday.

Hospital officials said Drago wasn't employed by Cannon but was given surgical privileges there in July.

He previously worked as a physician for the South Carolina Department of Corrections, said Stephanie Givens, a department spokeswoman.

Drago was based out of Kirkland Correctional Institution in Columbia from September 2010 to February 2013, Givens said.

Drago was being held at the Greenville County Detention Center on a $250,000 bond, according to jail records.
