Man arrested in illegal silicone operation

Investigators are looking for people who may have turned to a man in Flagler County for silicone injections.

Donnie Hendrix does not have a license to practice medicine and he's now in jail, accused of running an illegal home-based operation.

The Flagler County Sheriff's deputies and the Florida Department of Health arrested Hendrix, also known as "Viva," on Tuesday morning.



Hendrix has been charged with practicing medicine without a license and unlicensed practice of a health care profession.

Deputies had Hendrix's home under surveillance for the past four months. Someone gave investigators an anonymous tip through Crimestoppers.

The tipster said Hendrix had been offering injections ranging from $400 to $600 per session, and would perform the procedure in his bedroom.
