Spring man with cache of others’ credit cards is sentenced

Posted on March 16, 2010 by Dissent

Mary Flood reports:

When postal agents broke down the door of a Spring man’s home last April he was on a cell phone and had two credit cards in his hands that were not in his name.

Agents found 15 more cards in other people’s names hidden in clothing pockets and other places around his house and they found hundreds of people’s credit reports and bank statements, court records show. Fela Femi Koleoso, 46, pleaded guilty to two charges and was sentenced in federal court Tuesday to 4½ years in prison.

U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison sentenced Koleoso to two years in prison on one count of aggravated identity theft and 2½ years for receiving mail in a fictitious name.
