Identity Theft Rio Rancho Woman Gets 2 Years

Donna Gabaldon, 41, of Rio Rancho, was sentenced Wednesday morning in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque to two years for her conviction on aggravated identity theft, federal prosecutors said in a news release.

Gabaldon, who will be on a year of supervised release after prison, also was ordered to pay $141,233.57 in restitution to her victims, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Gabaldon and co-defendant Shelly Nichols, 42, of Albuquerque, were charged in March in a 60-count indictment, alleging identity theft, passing counterfeit checks with intent to deceive bank officials and aggravated identity theft, according to the release.

On May 25, Gabaldon pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated identity theft in a plea agreement with prosecutors, in which she admitted that she and Nichols cashed fake payroll checks at Walmart stores throughout New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and Texas from October 2009 through June 2010, the release said.

Nichols has pleaded not guilty to the indictment and is on conditions of release under pretrial supervision awaiting trial on Nov. 5, 2012, federal prosecutors said.
