Two men have preliminary hearings coming next month as part of a significant identity theft case in Lyon County.
James Jones, age 37, faces one count of identity theft for allegedly stealing tax documentation and information about Social Security numbers, credit cards or banking accounts from over 100 different individuals earlier this month.
Jordan Phillips, age 26, is charged with one count of identity theft for allegedly trying to “obtain, possess, transfer, use, sell or purchase” personal information. He’s also accused of trafficking contraband, in this case marijuana, into the Lyon County Jail.
Both have preliminary hearings at 3 pm Dec. 12 in front of Lyon County Judge Doug Jones.
