Man Accused of Stealing 7-Year-Old's ID
Saturday, February 23, 2008
CARPENTERSVILLE, Ill. - Police in a Chicago suburb say the Internal Revenue
Service has told a 7-year-old boy he owes back taxes on $60,000 because
someone else has been using the youngster's identity to collect wages and
unemployment benefits.
Officers in suburban Carpentersville said Friday the second-grader's
identity has been in use by someone else since 2001.
Detectives have filed a felony identity theft charge against 29-year-old
Cirilo Centeno of Streamwood, Ill.
They accuse Centeno of using the boy's personal information to collect more
than $60,000 in pay and services while working three jobs. They say he also
used the boy's ID to buy a truck, pay bills and even collect unemployment
benefits.
