Richard Osthoff tells TMZ... Santos deserves time behind bars and he hopes the judge throws the book at him.

The vet says he's not the only one who's glad the feds arrested Santos, running a list of groups he says were wronged by George. Although he's surprised by the timeline, Richard says he's glad Santos finally has to face the music...and he thinks more charges could come.
