MN: Third defendant sentenced in ID theft ring using state employees’ info

Posted on March 6, 2014 by Dissent

WCCO reports:

A 32-year-old St. Paul woman has been sentenced to prison for her role in a wide-ranging identity theft ring.

In Ramsey County District Court Thursday morning, Shauntell Burg was sentenced to 88 months – over seven years — in prison. She pleaded guilty in October 2013 to one count of identity theft.

Burg and three other women were arrested after a string of ID thefts that targeted retired state employees.
