OCSD Employee Pleads Guilty To Faking Checks With Grandmother's Name

ORANGE COUNTY, CA — An Orange County Sheriff's Department employee pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges of forging checks and using her grandmother's name to fraudulently use credit cards.

33-year-old Roxana C. Laub, of Santa Ana, pleaded guilty to single counts each of bank fraud and identity theft.

Laub served a uniformed correctional officer for the Orange County jail and started her scheme in late 2015 to steal money from her grandmother, who was 75 at the time, prosecutors said.

Laub "then also fraudulently used grandmother's credit cards for personal expenditures for herself," according to prosecutors.

Additionally, prosecutors said she paid the credit card bills out of her grandmother's bank account.

The loss to her grandmother is between $45,000 to $90,000, according to prosecutors.

Laub is scheduled to be sentenced April 9.
