An Alaska dentist who was videotaped pulling a woman's tooth while riding a hoverboard is now facing jail time after he was found guilty by an Alaska court.

Seth Lookhart went viral when the video surfaced as part of an investigation into his Anchorage dental practice last year. In the 2016 video, Lookhart rolls up to a sedated patient, pulls her tooth while standing on the hoverboard, and rolls away. Prosecutors said they obtained the video after Lookhart sent it to people outside his office.

This week, an Alaska judge sentenced Lookhart to 20 years in prison with eight years suspended, state law enforcement officials announced. Lookhart was found guilty in January on 46 felony and misdemeanor counts including embezzlement, fraud, and "unlawful dental acts."

The state first opened an investigation into Lookhart in 2016 after a former employee reported that Lookhart was administering more drugs than necessary in order to bill patients higher, according to the criminal complaint. Lookhart ultimately billed Medicaid as much as $2.5 million for unnecessary charges, prosecutors said.

"Lookhart almost killed many patients by performing anesthesia thousands of times without training or consent, on patients outside his scope of training and expertise, while stealing money from Medicaid and embezzling from his bosses," the Alaska Department of Law said in a press release.
