Ammon News - Mark Chavez, one of the two doctors charged in connection with the death of actor Matthew Perry, was sentenced to 8 months of house arrest on Tuesday.

Chavez previously pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine.

Beyond house arrest, Chavez was also sentenced to 3 years of supervised release and 300 hours of community service, PEOPLE confirms.

"Today, United States District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett sentenced Mark Chavez to eight months of home confinement and ordered him to perform 300 hours of community service. Chavez pleaded guilty in October 2024 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine," a representative for the Department of Justice shared in a statement with PEOPLE.

The San Diego-based doctor operated a ketamine clinic and admitted to selling the drug to Dr. Salvador Plasencia — who then distributed the drug to Perry and Perry's live-in assistant Kenneth Iwamasa.
