Perryville woman pleads guilty to stealing mother's identity, glass figurines

KSDK -- A Perryville, Missouri woman who was on parole for stealing her mother's identity is likely headed back to prison for stealing glass figurines.

It all began on March 6, 2006, when a detective from the Perryville Police Department obtained a search warrant for the St. Joseph Street home of 39-year-old Susan Feaman.

Feaman was wanted for using forged prescriptions to obtain controlled substance prescription drugs.

While searching the home, officers seized materials used to forge prescriptions and found evidence that Feaman had been using her mother's social security number. Her mother has lived in another state for many years.

Between October 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005, Feaman used her mother's name, security number and credit to obtain a $145,000 loan to buy her home.

In addition to the home loan, Feaman used her mother's identity to obtain credit cards and to make $271,000 in fraudulent credit purchases and other transactions in 2005 and 2006.

As part of the investigation in this case, Feaman was prosecuted in Perry County on felony charges relating to the forged prescriptions. She plead guilty and was sentenced to four years in the Missouri Department of Corrections. She served that sentence and was paroled.

From April 1, 2009 through April 12, 2009, Feaman stole a series of Steuben Crystal glass figurines from the Sallie Home store in Ladue, which she took to her home in Ellis Grove, Illinois. She sold some of the items on e-Bay and kept some others. The figurines had a value of $15,120.

Feaman, pleaded guilty to one felony count of interstate transportation of stolen property and one felony count of identity theft.

She now faces a maximum penalty of ten years in prison and/or fines up to $250,000, for interstate transportation of stolen property; and 15 years in prison and/or fines up to $250,000 for identity theft. Sentencing has been set for February 5, 2010.
