ALTOONA - A pediatrician in Blair County turned herself in Tuesday morning on several drug charges.

According to a criminal complaint, she’s accused of writing illegal prescriptions for her boyfriend, Andrew Smithmyer.

Police said they are still trying to locate Smithmyer.

Attorneys said Dr. Rebecca Delbaggio was fired from UPMC Children’s Community Pediatrics as a result of the investigation.

Her photo has been removed from the UPMC website, but last week, she was listed as a physician.
