A Nisland woman, Glenda Suhr, was sentenced to 18 months in custody for committing access device fraud. According to the court records, Suhr, 59, used the name and social security number of another person to open bank accounts and receive debit and cash cards.
Glenda Suhr, a/k/a Glennda Suhr, a/k/a Glenda Currier, was handed down a harsh sentence by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court, on December 8, 2014. The investigation revealed that Suhr committed the crime over a period of 25 years, from the late 1980’s through 2013.
