MD: Man, 53, gets 11 years in identity theft scheme

Tricia Bishop reports:

A 53-year-old Baltimore man was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison Friday for his role in an identity theft and mail fraud scheme that affected more than 250 victims and lasted nearly 30 years, the Maryland U.S. attorney’s office said. According to the plea agreement, Loquann Johnson and his co-conspirators targeted neighborhoods with outdoor mailboxes, reaching in to grab the mail under the pretense of distributing advertising fliers.
