Man Pleads Guilty to Impersonating Nurse for Four Years
COLUMBUS (WCMH) – A Hamilton County man pleaded guilty Monday to impersonating a nurse and stealing their identity.
Ohio General Attorney Dave Yost announced the guilty plea of Martez Rhandell Morris, 28, who authorities say stole the identity of a nurse and created fraudulent documents to get a job.
Morris impersonated a nurse for four years while performing duties of an LPN, working with several children as patients and a disabled adult, according to Yost.
“It’s a special kind of abuse to play pretend nurse to a kid who needs serious care,” Yost said. “The abuse of trust is even worse than the fraud — and I hope the judge takes that into account at sentencing.”
