A Clinton Township man has been charged with illegally operating a dental practice in his basement and allegedly used his church to get patients.
Leka Gjokaj, 55, has been charged with being a health professional operating without a license, a 4-year felony.
Police said he is in the country illegally and has a work visa that expired in 2015. They said federal immigration officials have placed a hold on him, if he should post bond.
A search found a dentist chair, an X-ray machine, molds for teeth and other items at the home. Police said the man told them he was seeing one or two patients a day.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
