CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Chattanooga Police Department is investigating
a woman that impersonated a nurse at a nursing home in Chattanooga.
On December 30, 2024, at 12:48 p.m., Chattanooga Police responded to an
impersonation call at a nursing home located in the 1000 block of North
Runyan Drive.
When the officer arrived on scene, they were informed by the Director of
Nursing that a recent new hire was impersonating a nurse. When
reviewing the new hire's paperwork, they found she was using the nursing
license of another person.
The preliminary investigation shows 37-year-old Alicia Brooks used the
nursing license of another person in order to gain employment as a nurse at
the facility. Alicia was not at the facility while the officers were there.
After the preliminary investigation, the officer obtained an arrest warrant
charging Alicia Brooks with Impersonation. CPD's Fugitive Unit was
notified, and they worked to locate her.
CPD has been unable to locate Alicia so we are asking for assistance from
the community with locating Alicia Brooks.
This information is preliminary and is subject to change as the
investigation continues. Chattanooga Police ask anyone with
information regarding this incident to call 423-698-2525.
This is an ongoing investigation.
The charges and allegations referenced in this release are merely
accusations of criminal conduct and not evidence. A defendant is presumed
innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and
convicted through due process of law.
