Attorney General Scott Pruitt has announced two counts of false impersonation against a Glenpool woman.

35-year-old Araceli Montoya, is believed to have falsely used someone else's name, date of birth and social security number to create a social security card, permanent resident card and complete other employment paperwork in order to apply for two different jobs. As a result of Montoya’s actions, the victim who had her identity stolen faced difficulties obtaining insurance coverage for her children and also received medical bills addressed to her for treatment for an injury she had never received.

An investigation by the Attorney General’s Office found that Montoya had filed for a workers’ compensation claim under the false identity receiving a $16,000 settlement.

Montoya is charged with two counts of false impersonation. If convicted, Montoya could face up to 20 years in prison.
