Police: Medical workers stole patient info for narcotic prescriptions

Shelby Oryan Scoville of Woodstock was a veterinary technician employed with Hollyberry Animal Clinic in Roswell when she allegedly created fake prescriptions in the name of her dog.

…  Tiffany Martin, a 30-year-old employee of WellStar Neurosurgery, was allegedly involved in stealing prescriptions written for patients. Officials said she stole insurance information from the WellStar office and turned in to pharmacies prescriptions for Oxycodone, an opioid pain medication.
