The top neurosurgeon at Highland Hospital has been suspended and may be charged with a misdemeanor after what authorities called a
drunken altercation with sheriff"s deputies in an operating room, officials said Thursday. Deputies believe Dr. Federico Castro-Moure, 45, was intoxicated during the scuffle and prosecutors may charge him with public drunkenness and interfering with a peace officer. "The deputies felt that he was behaving in an aggressive manner," Alameda County Sheriff"s Capt. William Eskridge said. "He was yelling and put a fist in the face of a deputy in a threatening manner." Neither Castro-Moure nor his attorney could be reached for comment.
