An arrest warrant has been issued for a woman accused of using the name of a patient at a rehabilitation clinic where she worked to get prescription painkillers at a local pharmacy.
Smyrna police have charged Shannon Denita Douberly with five counts of obtaining controlled substance by misrepresentation in connection to incidents reported in April, May and June 2018.
According to the warrant obtained June 13, Douberly, of Senoia, was an employee at Ridgeview Institute, a mental health and addiction treatment clinic that has locations in Smyrna and the middle Georgia town of Monroe.
On April 12, 2018, Douberly obtained 90 Percocet pills by allegedly forging the signature of a doctor and submitting the prescription to Carters Pharmacy, which is located on Ridgeview’s property. The prescription was filled in the name of a man who was a patient at the clinic until May 2018, Smyrna police said.

She also obtained 90 oxycodone pills on June 13, 2018, July 12, 2019 and Aug. 13, 2018, from the same pharmacy using the doctor’s allegedly forged signature and patient’s name, the officer outlined in the warrant.
The warrant notes Douberly was identified through a photo lineup and "has a history of prescription forgeries." As of Monday, a search of the Cobb County Jail records show Douberly has not been booked into its facility. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reached out to Smyrna police for more information.
