WALDORF WOMAN ARRESTED AND CHARGED
WITH IMPERSONATING A LICENSED SOCIAL WORKER

Maryland Attorney General J. Joseph Curran, Jr. announced today that Letitia Jonelle Miller, currently residing in the 5900 block of Sunfish Court, in Waldorf has been indicted and arrested in Montgomery County for crimes including Counterfeiting and Practicing Clinical Social Work Without a License. It is alleged that between November 5, 2004 and February 11, 2005, Letitia Miller, 32, practiced clinical social work at Innovative Behavior Treatment Center in Silver Spring, Maryland by falsely representing that she had the educational background and license to be a social worker. It is further alleged that she counterfeited a social work license. No trial date has been set.

While an indictment or charge is merely an accusation of wrongdoing and every individual is presumed innocent unless the State proves the charges beyond a reasonable doubt, if convicted, the maximum penalty for Practicing Social Work without a Licence is 90 days, a fine of $500, or both. If convicted, Counterfeiting a Public Document carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.

This case was investigated by Office of the Attorney General, Criminal Investigations Division (CID),the Maryland Board of Board of Social Work Examiners, and the Maryland State Police. The case will be prosecuted by the Criminal Investigations Division.
