A Decatur doctor who was found guilty late last year of harassing three female patients and is being sued by 10 patients for sexual harassment was jailed Friday in Montgomery on a sexual abuse warrant from the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office, authorities said.

Dr. Michael Dick, whose medical license was suspended for sexual misconduct, was in the state capital for a hearing regarding his license when he was taken into custody by Montgomery police, the sheriff’s office said. Dick was held in the Montgomery County Jail on $50,000 bond; Morgan County sheriff’s deputies were yet to extradite him to the county as of 6:45 p.m. Friday.

Morgan County District Attorney Scott Anderson said the warrant was related to Dick’s work but did not elaborate.

A former patient of Dick’s, Ashley Newcomb, said the doctor touched her face inappropriately and told her she was beautiful; Dick was found guilty in September to that charge, in Decatur Municipal Court.

He also pleaded guilty in to two other counts of harassment with the stipulation that he would appeal to the Morgan County Circuit Court.

One of those cases involved Cheree Jordan, a former patient of Dick’s at Alabama Medicine and Rheumatology in Decatur, who told AL.com that Dick kissed her on the mouth while she was in the exam room seeing him for arthritis-related problems. She said she was unaware that another woman made a complaint against Dick before she came forward with her allegations.

The conviction and guilty pleas led to Dick’s medical license being suspended.

In all, 10 female patients are suing Dick for sexual misconduct and harassment.
