Jonathan Rose pleaded guilty to stealing a list of names and identifying information to obtain credit and debit cards, U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway said Thursday.
Rose, 25, of St. Louis, pleaded guilty to two felony counts of credit card fraud. He now faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and/or fines up to $250,000 per count when he is sentenced June 16.
According to the facts filed with the court, in December 2007, Rose was arrested by St. Louis City Police on suspicion of burglary. While conducting a search of Rose during his arrest, police discovered a copy of a state of Missouri Division of Family Services compilation from the early 1980s that contained 720 names with identifying information.
