A woman was arrested Thursday for an identity theft she allegedly committed more than a year ago while employed in Chattanooga by the state of Tennessee.
The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development announced the arrest of Lora Bradshaw Heath saying an internal audit of the former employee revealed the apparent wrongdoing in Jan. 2015.
A press release said she was immediately terminated from her position. Police in Chattanooga were also notified of the crime and after a criminal investigation, Heath was arrested and charged.
TDWLD contacted the citizen whose identity was stolen and notified that person of the fraudulent activity.
