September 22, 2009
Total Loss:
$9,000
Opening lines of credit in the names of residents of assisted living centers -- without their knowledge -- brought a Lynchburg woman a 34-month prison sentence Monday. Karen Priscilla Jones, 48, pleaded guilty in June in U.S. District Court in Roanoke to three counts of identity fraud, two counts each of wire fraud and mail fraud, and one count of forging an endorsement on a U.S. Treasury check. While working at two assisted living centers in Lynchburg, The Oaks and Avante, Jones improperly used identifying information from nine residents.
