A Punxsutawney woman is facing felony identity theft among other related charges for allegedly spending more than $5,000 on a victim’s debit card, without his permission, while he was in jail.
According to ExploreJeffersonPA.com, the charges were filed by Punxsutawney Borough Police. They stem from an incident that began Nov. 5 when the victim reported money missing from his bank account.
