A Hollywood woman, who eluded authorities six years ago after criminal charges were filed against her, has been arrested for investigation of practicing dentistry without a license, the Los Angeles city attorney’s office said. Purificacion Santos Perez, 49, a Filipino national who also used the names Dr. P. Lopez and Dr. Perez Lopez, was arrested at her apartment on two outstanding warrants, one dating back to 1980, Deputy City Atty. William Sterling said. The earlier warrant stems from allegations that Perez performed dental work on two people who were charged $575 for six visits. A second criminal complaint was filed last week after a woman said one of her daughters was in danger of losing three teeth because of orthodontic work performed by Perez. Held in lieu of $8,500 bail, Perez will be arraigned June 23.
