Woman charged with impersonating doctor

Rutland Police say a Proctor woman tried to obtain prescription refills by pretending to be her doctor. 39- year-old Cynthia McGuire-Cioffi pleaded innocent to prescription fraud in Rutland District Court. She was arrested by Rutland police last month after pharmacists at the CVS store received a telephone refill request from someone claiming to be McGuire-Cioffi's doctor. Something about the caller didn't sound right, and the pharmacist checked back with the doctor's office, which denied having called. Their next call was to Rutland police.
