Second-Chance Felon Charged With ID Theft: Prosecutor

ORLAND PARK, IL -- A second-chance felon violated his probation when he tried to open a credit account at an Orland Square jewelry store using a fake ID, prosecutors said.

Caleb White, 22, appeared before Cook County Judge Peter Felice on a charge of identity theft. A violation of probation was also filed.

On Dec. 22, the prosecutor said that White tried to open a credit account at Kay's Jewelers using the identity of an Iowa resident. The Iowa resident’s driver’s license was said to have White’s picture on it.

The prosecutor told the judge White did not get the merchandise.

White is currently on probation for criminal damage to property. He was given second chance probation, according to the prosecutor.

“He doesn’t get it,” the judge said.

Bail was set at $75,000. White’s next court hearing is Jan. 10 in Bridgeview.
