Psychiatrist Warren A. Olson surrenders license following drunk driving conviction

April 12, 2012

On March 31, 2012, psychiatrist Warren A. Olson surrendered his license to the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board, based on disciplinary action taken on him by another state. Olson
surrendered his license to the Medical Board of California in March 2011. According to California Medical Board’s Accusation, Olson was arrested and charged August 2, 2010 with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and leaving the scene of an accident.  On December 21, 2010, he entered no contest pleas on the charges relative to both incidents. However, he neglected to make his criminal convictions known to the California Board within 30 days, as required by state regulation. The document notes that Olson had a 2002 conviction for driving under the influence.
