Identity Thief Thursday: Another Cop Charged with Identity Theft

Here is another case of a police officer charged with identity theft.

We wrote about Brian Coble before, but this time it is Sgt. Mark Warf - an officer from Rutherford County, Tennessee.

Warf is no ordinary beat cop. He was the lead detective on a number of very high-profile murder cases. He had 23 years on the force and there was shock in the community when he abruptly resigned in July 2007.

Today however, Warf plead guilty to aggravated identity theft and now faces 2 years in prison.

The former sheriff’s office employee stole names and Social Security Numbers and charged $23,000 worth of stuff to 17 credit cards.

It seems amazing that a police officer of that standing would throw away everything for $23,000. I wonder what the story is there.
