Unlicensed social worker pleads guilty

A social worker working in Anne Arundel and Talbot counties pleaded guilty Thursday to practicing social work without a license.

Jennifer Mast Rinehart, of Cordova, fooled her supervisors at the Anne Arundel County Department of Social Services with a copy of what she said was her license. In June 2003, she was promoted to the position of Social Worker II, which requires a valid Maryland graduate social worker license.
