Kansas City, Kan. — A northeast Kansas woman has pleaded guilty to an identity theft scheme carried out with stolen checks and driver's licenses.
The U.S. attorney's office says 46-year-old Marcella Diane Machado of Olathe admitted defrauding several banks over a six-week period starting in early December 2008.
Machado pleaded guilty Monday to one count each of conspiracy, aggravated identity theft and possessing a stolen check. Sentencing is scheduled for June 1.
Prosecutors said Machado tried to cash a $670 check using a driver's license stolen from a woman in Spring Hill and a checkbook stolen from a Lenexa man. She also admitted taking part in a scheme involving a check stolen from a mailbox in Oskaloosa.
