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.
