Martin Man Arrested For Identity Fraud

A Stephens County man faces charges in connection to alleged identity fraud.

Stephens County Sheriff Randy Shirley said 36-year-old Donnie Montgomery Junior of Seven Forks Road in Martin has been charged with three counts of identity fraud.

Shirley said deputies began looking to an identity fraud complaint in May citing that a man was using a juvenile’s personal information to obtain multiple services.

The sheriff said through the course of the investigation, deputies learned that Montgomery used the juvenile’s personal information as early as the Fall of 2013 and used it at three known locations to obtain services.

Montgomery was released from the Stephens Count Jail after posting a $30,000 bond.
