Janay Corbitt pleaded guilty to second-degree felony theft and three third-degree felony counts of identity fraud.
Corbitt was arrested in August 2024 at a bus station in Dallas by police and U.S. Marshals, according to Attorney General Dave Yost.
Yost said Corbitt stole the identities of multiple people so she could open and operate two fake behavioral health counseling agencies in the Dayton area.

The conviction banned her from the Medicaid program.
Her sentencing is scheduled for April 17.
