ROANOKE, Va. (AP) — The state Board of Medicine has suspended the license of a Roanoke County physician charged with possessing child pornography.

The board entered an order last week suspending the license of Dr. Steven Collins.

The board found that Collins presented a “substantial danger” to public health or safety.

The Roanoke Times (http://bit.ly/ZjBpKt) reports federal authorities found images of child porn on a computer at Collins’ private practice in August when they arrived to investigate another matter.

Collins has been terminated as medical director of the Roanoke Treatment Center, a methadone clinic.
