Woman Sentenced Again For Identity Theft

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A woman who pleaded guilty to committing bank fraud and identity theft while she was on supervised release for the same crimes has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Thirty-one-year-old Nicole Jenise Stevenson of Baltimore was also ordered to pay nearly $25,000 in restitution at sentencing Friday in federal court.

Prosecutors say after serving a two-year sentence, Stevenson was on supervised release in 2009. Authorities say she opened checking account and wrote checks against them without depositing money.

Prosecutors say Stevenson also used the name and social security number of a woman, without her knowledge, to apply for an apartment rental.
