Chicago woman who used a stolen identity to buy a house and an SUV has been sentenced to eight years in prison.Thirty-seven-year-old Denise Williams was accused of stealing the personal information of a woman whose wallet was stolen during a trip to Chicago. Williams pleaded guilty to two counts of identity theft.

Cook County state’s attorney spokesman Andy Conklin says Williams was not accused of stealing the wallet, but she used its contents, including the victim’s Social Security card, to buy a $173,000 house and $24,000 SUV.

Conklin says it’s unclear how Williams obtained the wallet.

Authorities became aware of Williams’ activities after the mortgage company and the car dealership became suspicious and informed police.
