Three charged with identity theft at hurricane shelter.
Three people from New Orleans face identity theft charges in Mississippi after trying to get personal information from Hurricane Katrina evacuees at a shelter in Laurel, MS. Jones County Sheriff Larry Dykes said Saturday, September 10, that the trio posed as representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to try to get personal information from some of the more than 1,700 people from the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Louisiana at the Magnolia Center,
a multipurpose venue in Laurel used for concerts and horse shows. Edward Charles Francis Jr., 44; Michelle Davis, 39; and Danielle Marie Doyle, 36, were arrested this Monday, September 5, and charged with identity theft, Dykes said. Dykes said the three asked refugees at the shelter for their names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers.

October 27, Associated Press — Wisconsin man jailed in hurricane scam.
A man from Green Bay, WI, accused of perpetrating a Hurricane Katrina scam, is jailed on $50 million dollars bond in New Orleans. Scott Benson is charged with extracting personal information from 2,500 police officers and other emergency workers in New Orleans following the hurricane. Benson is booked on 2,500 counts of false impersonation and 2,500 counts of identity theft. Prosecutors say Benson and another man, Christ Armstrong of Orlando, FL, had officers sign application forms that included personal information in order to receive $5,000
dollars from Viacom. The men are accused of planning to use information from the emergency workers to steal disaster assistance that was supposed to go to hurricane victims.
