David Lee Fairchild was sentinced to 35 years in jail for stealing the identites of 10 people. Technically the charge he was arrested on was fraudulently possessing 10 pieces of others peoples’ identifying information.
This is the first time that Wichita County has imposed such serious penalities upon offenders for this type of case. The state Legislature came through with measures that made a difference in this type of case, said Maureen Shelton, first assistant criminal district attorney with Wichita County.
