A convicted identity thief who admitted to posing as a nurse in Virginia nearly a decade ago is accused of impersonating nurses in at least two hospitals in Southern California this year, authorities said. Amanda Porter, 44, was arrested Nov. 7 in connection with a nursing job she obtained at a medical center in Burbank using the identity of a registered nurse who lived out of state, the city’s police department said in a statement Thursday.
Porter was arrested in September 2016 at a Navy credit union while trying to open an account using another stolen Social Security number, according to the document. While being taken into custody, she told the arresting officer that 'she steals money because it gives her a high like a drug,' the document states, adding: 'she wants to give it back after stealing it, but spends it instead.
