HOUSTON COUNTY, Ga. (WGXA) — A surgeon at Emory Healthcare in Warner Robins is facing multiple charges after investigators believe he "knowingly" bought over a dozen stolen vehicles for his rental car business, according to Houston County District Attorney Eric Edwards.

According to an arrest report from the Houston County Sheriff's Office, Patrick Narh-Martey, 47, was arrested on April 10 and charged with 10 counts of theft by recieving stolen property and nine counts of possession of a vehicle with altered VINs.

WGXA obtained an incident report from July 2024 that describes the day a Houston County deputy responded to a report of fraudulent activity at the county tag office on Perry Parkway in Perry.

An employee told the deputy that Narh-Martey brought in a vehicle title that she believed was fake after the VIN listed could not be found in the national database.

She told the deputy that the vehicle's title was originally from Florida, and she also believed it was fake because the number began with an "L", which does not occur in the state. However, the other vehicle titles brought in by Martey were registered with no issue.

Narh-Martey owns a company called Amanor Enterprises LLC, where he buys cars and rents them out. He said he recently purchased a 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat for $44,500 weeks prior, and the seller sent him the title in the mail, the report states.

The Houston County deputy ran the VIN for the Challenger, but it was also unable to find it in any state. They also discovered the title was registered to a 2021 Challenger, not the 2019 vehicle Narh-Martey mentioned. The information was submitted as evidence, and the Narh-Martey was listed as a victim in the report and faced no charges at the time.

However, after further investigation, Edwards told WGXA that authorities believe the 47-year-old "knowingly" purchased the stolen vehicles and swapped out the VINs to "disguise" them for his car rental business.

Edwards said that at least 13 vehicles, reported stolen from states across the country, are involved in the case. He added that other codefendants could face prosecution, but no other warrants have been issued.

The District Attorney also confirmed that Dr. Narh-Martey is still currently a surgeon at Emory Healthcare in Warner Robins. He is also listed as the lead physician at the Middle Georgia Surgical Institute, which specializes in providing general, laparoscopic and robotic surgery to Middle Georgia and surrounding areas, according to its website.

The 47-year-old is currently being held at the Houston County Jail, and the investigation remains ongoing.
