In Stockton, Calfornia, The Stockton Record reports:
  • A Stockton man who was entrusted to help his elderly grandparents find a new home but instead sent their Calandria Street condominium into foreclosure was found guilty [last] Thursday of identity theft and fraud charges. Rodney Jackson Jr., 28, awaits a Feb. 11 sentencing on eight felony counts and an enhancement for committing a white-collar crime with a loss greater than $100,000, San Joaquin County Deputy District Attorney James Lewis said. Jackson's guilty counts include theft from an elder, identity theft, forgery and loan fraud. A Feb. 25 court hearing was set to decide what happens to the condominium. The foreclosure was frozen in April pending the outcome of Jackson's trial.
