An arrest has been made in connection with the death of former 3 DOORS DOWN guitarist Matt Roberts, who overdosed on prescription drugs three months ago.

According to Fox 6 News, Alabama physician Dr. Richard Snellgrove was indicted on November 16 for allegedly providing drugs to the 38-year-old musician.

The site adds Snellgrove allegedly prescribed five different drugs — including methadone, hydrocodone, loraxepam and fentanyl — with different names, all intended for Roberts.

“There’s no satisfaction in seeing a doctor arrested,” Matt‘s father, Darrell Roberts, said. “I don’t have any bitterness, no anger, nothing like that towards the doctor, but I’m also aware this is a serious issue in the medical community all over the United States.”

Matt Roberts was found dead on August 20 at a hotel in West Bend, Wisconsin, where he was scheduled to perform at a charity event for veterans.

West Bend police say the cause of death was determined to be a prescription drug-related overdose.

A founding member of 3 DOORS DOWN, Matt left the band in 2012 to concentrate on his health after experiencing circulation problems that were exacerbated by the group’s heavy touring schedule. He was replaced by Chet Roberts (no relation).
