A former Minnesota state employee is among four women charged in an alleged identity theft ring.
Ramsey County prosecutors allege the ring stole hundreds of identities.
Forty-nine-year-old Roxanne Deflorin of St. Paul, a former state worker, faces one count of identity theft and two counts of possession of a short-barreled shotgun.
According to the complaint, Deflorin obtained identities and Social Security numbers from her former employer, the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, and from going through trash.
