Bobbi Kristina Brown Update: Impostor Hospice Nurse Held on $24,000 Cash Bond
The woman who impersonated a nurse at a Georgia hospice facility, where Bobbi Kristina Brown was being treated before her death, has been ordered held on $24,000 cash-only bond.
Taiwo Bolatito Sobamowo remains in custody on forgery and fraud charges, following a Forsyth County judge's ruling, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Sobamowo has a history of such crimes, including fraudulently serving as a nurse in the District of Columbia in 2013 by using someone else's identification.
North Carolina authorities took her into custody in nearby Raleigh earlier this month, acting on a warrant from Georgia, and she has since been extradited.
Officials at the Peachtree Christian Hospice insist it remains uncertain how much contact Sobamowo may have had with Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's only daughter.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, 22, died in late July, some six months after she was found face down and unresponsive in the bathtub of the home she shared with boyfriend Nick Gordon and was rushed to a hospital emergency room. She has since been buried alongside her mother in their native New Jersey.
Authorities have also since launched a criminal probe into the circumstances surrounding her death, which reportedly targets Gordon as the primary suspect. In addition, the conservator of her estate has hit him with a multimillion dollar wrongful death suit that alleges he gave Brown a "toxic cocktail" to incapacitate her on the night in dispute.
Gordon has since hired famed Casey Anthony attorney Jose Baez as his lead attorney and has denied all the allegations.
In a statement, Bobby Brown recently went on record asserting he believes Gordon "harmed" his daughter, and he is now intent on receiving justice for her.
Whitney Houston died just over three years prior to her daughter, when she too was found face down in a bathtub in a Hollywood hotel where she was staying. Authorities later uncovered she had drugs in her system at the time of her death.
