WORLEY — A woman is facing multiple felony charges after police said she tried to use someone else’s ID at the Coeur d’Alene Casino.
Hope L. Moody, 44, of Spokane, is charged with misappropriation of personal identifying information, as well as five counts of criminal possession of a financial transaction card, all felonies.
Police responded Monday night to a report that two individuals had attempted to open rewards club accounts with stolen IDs.
Moody was detained at the casino, along with 46-year-old James R. Brock.
Police said they found multiple financial cards in Moody’s pockets, as well as an ID that wasn’t hers. Brock allegedly had someone else’s ID and a baggie containing meth in his pocket.
Moody told police she found the cards at a park in Spokane. She and Brock were arrested at the scene.
Police charged Brock with possession of a controlled substance and misappropriation of personal identifying information, both felonies.
Judge Robert Pittman ordered Tuesday that Moody and Brock be held on $15,000 bail each.
