A Pensacola, Fla., woman released from prison in May after doing 18 months for posing as a certified nurses assistant (CNA) was hired again in July using a stolen identity.

Crestview (Fla.) police arrested 30-year-old Susan Mae Igus Tuesday after investigators say she was again posing as a CNA at another Florida Panhandle facility.

Igus’ 18-month prison sentence stemmed from a December 2021 arrest by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office after Igus was found posing as a CNA in Gulf Breeze.

Less than two months after her release, Igus used a stolen identity to gain employment as a CNA at the Crestview Rehabilitation Center. Igus presented a stolen ID, birth certificate and nursing assistant certification during the hiring process, according to police.

But the scheme was uncovered, police say, when the person whose identity was stolen received a letter from the rehabilitation center thanking them for their service as an employee. That person contacted Crestview police.

Igus was working at the rehabilitation center when police arrived to take her into custody Tuesday. She is charged with one count each of practicing without a certified nursing assistant license; use and possession of another person’s identification; uttering a false instrument; providing false information to law enforcement; obtaining money by fraud; using a false name to obtain employment; and four counts of uttering a false instrument/document.

Igus remains in the Okaloosa County Jail under total bond of $65,000.
