A Memphis pastor and his wife are accused of stealing the identity of
an elderly woman who attended his church and racking up more than
$50,000 in credit card debt.
Frederick Smith of New Life Holiness Church will be in court
Thursday. He's charged with identity theft, theft of property more than
$10,000 and forgery.
It all began three years ago, when the victim says Smith asked her to
be on a committee at the church, and told her he needed her Social
Security number, drivers license and a utility bill.
A few months later, the woman started getting bills in the mail for
credit cards she didn't open. She discovered three cards with a combined
balance of $51,000, according to court records.
