Money talks and felons walk -- to a dental appointment.
The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that Phil Spector went to dental appointment this afternoon in Toluca Lake. It seems the state will let qualified inmates go to private physician as long as the felon pays his own way.
The Times reported:
Spector was allowed to see the dentist under a state rule that permits qualifying inmates with the financial means to seek private medical treatment as long as they pick up the bill for the transportation and security.
Spector was presumably back behind bars Thursday. He is serving a life sentence at a treatment facility at the state prison at Corcoran.
Spector's dental appointment was first reported by radio station KFI-AM (640).
