(CBS) CARMICHAEL A massive cache of weapons including a rocket launcher has been discovered at a Sacramento County home by sheriff’s deputies investigating a doctor accused of sexually exploiting a patient.
The surprise find came Tuesday night as officers from the Sacramento County sex crimes unit went to the home of 53-year-old Dr. Scott Takasugi on Empire Way in Carmichael. They were investigating a charge of sexual exploitation by a physician, specifically, penetration with a foreign object.
When officers went into the home they discovered 30 weapons including pistols, rifles, about 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and a rocket launcher.
