Description

The Gaston Gazette reports that Deborah Costner Taylor, 49, a nurse and pastor's wife in Belmont, North Carolina, recently pled guilty to identity theft and obtaining property by false pretense (h/t PHIprivacy.net). While working as a nurse at CaroMont Regional Medical Center in Gastonia, North Carolina in 2013, Taylor offered to help two members of her husband's congregation with their medical issues. She then made purchases using the man's credit card, wrote checks to herself using the woman's bank account, and opened a credit card in the woman's name.
