Mississippi woman sentenced for her role in stolen identity fraud case

Posted on August 29, 2014 by Dissent

Ladonna Cooper, age 30, of Jackson, was sentenced earlier this week to 20 months for conspiracy to defraud the United States.

Cooper, a former employee of the Mississippi Department of Corrections, previously pled guilty to stealing personal identifying information, including names and social security numbers, from the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility located in Rankin County. The information was then used by others to file false tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service. The tax returns claimed that the tax payers were owed a refund. Those refunds were then electronically deposited into various bank accounts in Mississippi belonging to Cooper’s co-conspirators. Following her prison sentence, Cooper will be on supervised release for 3 years during which she must pay restitution to the United States Government in the amount of $222,137.13.
