LIVINGSTON – A woman who is a resident alien from Guyana and has been living in Queens, NY, has been charged with identity theft in the first degree in connection with a Columbia County woman.
State Police at Livingston said a Greenport woman had trouble applying for a mortgage and that’s when State Police at Livingston learned that Noreen Perry had been using the woman’s Social Security number since 1988. She had purchased it in New York City for $100.
