Couple with stolen credit cards faces prison

A couple found in possession of around two dozen credit cards belonging to someone else may face up to four years in prison each.

Jeffrey Alan Williams, 40 and Dawn Michelle Kuskie, 38, were arrested Oct. 9 at the Gardnerville Dotty’s. Deputies checked the registration of a gray Lexus parked at the casino and found it belonged to Kuskie, who had an active warrant from Nevada Parole and Probation. She was taken into custody.

Williams got out of the passenger seat and identified himself as a 25-year-old with green eyes. According to court documents he tossed his ID under the car. Upon retrieving it, deputies learned that Williams also had a warrant out of Clark County.

A search of the vehicle led to a small amount of methamphetamine and a large number of credit cards and IDs belonging to people other than the couple.

Kuskie admitted to possession of a controlled substance and possession of debit or credit cards without the card holder’s permission. She is scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 9.
