A grand jury in Forsyth County, Georgia has indicted Taiwo Bolatito Sobamowo, the woman who pretended to be nurse and practiced without a license.

According to recent reports, Sobamowo has been accused of two counts of practicing as a registered nurse besides two counts of identity theft fraud. At the time of her arrest last November, Sobamowo was in Raleigh, NC. She had landed a nursing job in Washington DC in 2013 but was arrested only last year after working 11 months at Peachtree Christian Hospice Care Center. The facility is where Whitney Houston's daughter Bobby Kristina Brown was cared for before her death.

Past reports have shown that Sobamowo used identity of another healthcare provider to land nursing jobs. It is known that she was one of the caregivers of Bobbi Kristina. Neither Browns nor the Houston family has reported grievances about the care Bobbi received at the hospice. Sobamowo was fired after discrepancies were found in her records.

The charges for which she was recently indicted pertain to those in Forsyth County, where she worked, besides Peachtree, located in Gwinnett County, where she faces other charges.

"Additional warrants were issued for Sobamowo which included felony Financial Identity Fraud and felony Forgery," Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said at the time of her arrest. "The investigation identified that Sobamowo was working as a registered nurse with a Georgia healthcare facility. Sobamowo had provided fraudulent credentials under a different name to gain employment."

Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unconscious in her bathtub at her Georgia home. Coroner's report mentions drugs and water as having led to the aspiring singer's death. Bobbi Kristina's family has accused her boyfriend Nick Gordon of murdering the 22-year-old who died last July.
