BUFFALO — A 37-year-old Jamestown woman was sentenced today to 12 months in prison on a conviction of access device fraud. She was also ordered to pay restitution totaling $28,508.44.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie Grisanti, who handled the case, stated that Alicia Wilson, an in-home health care aid, applied for credit cards in the names of the elderly couple she cared for. The defendant used the credit cards online and at local retail establishments in Jamestown and Erie, Pennsylvania, and withdrew cash from local banks. Losses suffered by Bank of America, Capital One and Citizen’s Bank totaled more than $25,000.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the United States Postal Inspection Service under the direction of Inspector in Charge Shelly Binkowski.
