BANGOR (AP) – A Wallagrass woman will begin a two-month jail sentence in March after pleading guilty to a conspiracy charge stemming from her use of someone else’s identity to get credit cards, U.S. Attorney Paula Silsby said Thursday.

Nicole M. Dufresne, 33, was sentenced on Wednesday, four months after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, Silsby said.

According to court records, Dufresne in March 2004 conspired with a co-defendant to use Social Security account numbers and birth dates of two other people to obtain credit and credit cards.

Dufresne and her then-boyfriend, Wayne David Broome, obtained the Social Security numbers when a letter was mistakenly delivered to Broome’s post office box.

Broome and Dufresne used the names and Social Security numbers in the letter to get credit cards with credit limits of $5,000 and $800, and made other attempts to fraudulently obtain credit.

Dufresne and Broome used the credit to order merchandise and make cash withdrawals totaling approximately $3,780, Silsby said.

Broome, 51, who lives in the Wallagrass area, has entered a guilty plea on the same charge brought against Dufresne, said Assistant U.S. Attorney James McCarthy. No date has yet been set for Broome’s sentencing.

U.S. District Judge John Woodcock sentenced Dufresne to two months in prison followed by three years of supervised release and restitution totaling $1,271.49. She must report to a yet-undetermined federal prison on March 10.

Silsby said the Postal Inspection Service, Maine State Police and Aroostook County District Attorney’s Office assisted in the investigation.
