Back behind bars

Buda woman faces new list of charges

From staff reports

The list of charges against a Buda woman accused of identity theft just got longer.

Amber Dawn Rountree, 36, was charged in March with two counts each of forgery, fraudulent use or possession of identifying information and stealing or receiving stolen checks.

On Wednesday, Hays County deputies again arrested Rountree, this time on one charge of fraudulent use or possession of identifying information and 15 of forgery of a financial instrument.

A sheriff’s spokesman said she was brought to the attention of law enforcement by a local merchant who became suspicious of her activities.

Upon her arrest she was found to be “in possession of fictitious documents,” the sheriff’s office said.

Fraudulent use or possession of identifying information is a state jail felony punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 and/or from six months to two years in jail.

The stolen check charges filed i March are misdemeanors.

“This is a fine example of what can be accomplished through the cooperative efforts of local businesses and merchants with the Sheriff’s Office,” Sheriff Allen Bridges said.

“Criminals can be apprehended prior to committing further offenses.”

Investigation goes on.
