Two Arrested in Pike County MS Identify Theft Case

In the beginning of January 2023, the Pike County Sheriff's Office started receiving multiple reports in
reference to Identity Theft, Fraud and Uttering Forgery. During the investigation, it was discovered that Cayla Jade Lawrence was getting personal identification from multiple victims and using social security numbers and altering checks. On February 8, 2023, Cayla Jade Lawrence was arrested and charged with Fraud, Identity Theft, and Uttering Forgery. No bond has been set at this time.
