A Bradford woman accused in two cases of identity theft while working as a caregiver pleaded guilty Thursday in McKean County Court.

Melinda S. Schoonover, 35, entered the plea in one case to charges of identity theft and obstructing administration of law or other governmental functions and in the other case to charges of identity theft and theft by deception.

According to Assistant District Attorney Ashley Shade, between Dec. 9 and Jan. 26, Schoonover, while employed as a caregiver for someone over age 60, used identifying information of that person such as the person’s name and account numbers to make purchases totaling approximately $3,900. Schoonover called the state police barracks impersonating the victim saying she did not want to have charges pursued.

Between Oct. 7 and April 14, also during her employment as a caregiver for someone over age 60, Schoonover opened credit accounts and made purchases of about $250 using the person’s identifying information, Shade explained.

Schoonover will be sentenced Oct. 8.
