Share via
From Times Staff Reports

A Sheriff’s Department employee was sentenced Tuesday to four years in state prison for his part in a credit card scam.

Christopher Coleman, 35, of Los Angeles was the final defendant in the so-called “Easy Money” credit card theft case involving former sheriff’s custody assistants and others. The case against one other defendant was dismissed; the others have pleaded and been sentenced.

The indictment alleged that Coleman and others received credit cards in other people’s names and used them to withdraw cash from ATMs.
