The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) has summarily suspended the license of Arzella A. Robinson, L.P.N., due to her March 26, 2004, felony conviction in the Third Judicial Circuit Court, Wayne County, Michigan. Robinson pled no contest to Larceny From the Person and was placed on probation for a period of one year. The terms of Robinson’s probation require her to attend anger management counseling.

On July 13, 2004, MDCH issued an order immediately suspending Robinson’s license pursuant to the Public Health Code, which provides for the mandatory summary suspension of a health care professional’s license upon the conviction of a felony. An administrative hearing will be scheduled to address the status of Robinson’s nursing license.
