ND: East Grand Forks man to plead guilty in ID-theft case

Posted on November 16, 2010 by Dissent

Archie Ingersoll reports:

An East Grand Forks man charged in an identity-theft case that involved dozens of local victims is expected to plead guilty at a Dec. 7 hearing.

[…]

Lafferty, 28, faces 20 felony counts of identity theft as well as a felony theft charge. Criminal complaints accuse him of using the names and Social Security numbers of 49 people to obtain credit cards.

[…]

Authorities said investigators uncovered Lafferty’s operation in September, which led them to search his home and computer-repair business, Tech Medics in Grand Forks.

Authorities believe Lafferty got the victims’ personal information from a hard drive that he had obtained elsewhere.
