An unidentified woman was arrested early this morning under the name "Akilah Shani Ford" after she used the false identity to obtain treatment and prescription medicine at Duke Raleigh Hospital.
The person arrested is facing charges in identity theft and attempting to obtain a controlled substance by forgery/fraud from Duke Raleigh Hospital, according to an arrest warrant.
The arresting officer was unable to establish the woman's true identity; therefore, she was arrested using the false name until they can figure out who she really is, according to Jim Sughrue, Raleigh police spokesman.
