Jailed woman allegedly has dozens of aliases

Associated Press - November 5, 2009 6:55 PM ET

TYLER, Texas (AP) - A 46-year-old woman, allegedly with at least 35 aliases, has been jailed in Smith County on fraud, embezzlement and assorted other charges.

Smith County Sheriff J.B. Smith tells the Tyler Morning Telegraph that the woman is wanted in numerous states for allegedly cheating men, women, families and businesses.

Smith says the woman has been booked in jail under the name Juanetta Charce Lacy. He says he first met the woman a few months ago when his wife, who sells real estate, showed her a house valued at $1.2 million.

He says that when the woman gave evasive answers to questions about her background, he began to suspect a fraud. He says those suspicions intensified when a local oilman told him he was suspicious of his girlfriend, who turned out to be the same woman.
