South Carolina (WXII) -- On Wednesday, deputies announced a North Carolina woman was arrested in South Carolina on identity fraud and forgery charges.
The Lexington County Sheriff's Department arrested a Greensboro, North Carolina, woman who is accused of using fake cashier’s checks to make several purchases, including multiple vehicles.
Sierra Blair Stewart, 34, is charged with three counts of forgery for $10,000 or more, and one count each of presenting an altered vehicle registration, obtaining goods under false pretenses and financial identity fraud, according to arrest warrants.
"Based on the information investigators have gathered while working on the case, Stewart bought a car on Feb. 3 at a Lexington County car dealership for more than $17,000 using a fake cashier’s check and someone else’s identity," Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said.
