Dianna Hunt reports:

A former RadioShack customer service representative pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to stealing customers’ personal information while trying to resolve their problems.

Youlanda Rochelle Wright used the information to file a false income tax return in a client’s name to get a refund of $3,654, according to court records.
