Washoe County Sheriff's Office detectives arrested Kayla Rose Sechrengost on more than a dozen charges related to an ongoing credit card fraud investigation.
Sechrengost was arrested on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 and booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility on 15 charges, including unlawful use of another person's identification, unlawful use of another person's credit card, burglary, and embezzlement.
The charges are based on a number of incidents that occurred between July 2015 and April 2019. The victim in this investigation entrusted Sechrengost to assist with finances while the victim was undergoing medical treatment.
Sechrengost violated that trust by using the victim's financial information and credit cards to make nearly $10,000 in purchases without the victim's consent.
The victim began to notice substantial discrepancies with her financial statements and notified the Sheriff's Office.
