Aug. 17—The woman who stole money and the identity of a victim and then threatened the victim because of her arrest pleaded guilty in Cumberland County Criminal Court last week.

Kimberly Cora Spencer, 34, living on Dayton Ave. when arrested Dec. 9, 2022, pleaded guilty to theft of property of up to $1,000, identity theft and coercion of a witness.

Spencer — in exchange for her pleas — received a three-year sentence as a Range 1 offender with credit for 90 days already served in jail. The sentence does not go into effect until after she completes a probation violation sentence she is presently serving.

Spencer was on probation for pleading guilty to an information charging forgery on Nov. 1, 2021. Once the sentence is completed, she will begin serving the three-year sentence.

Spencer is accused of using another woman's identity to make a purchase of items and/or services at a local business on Nov. 1 of last year. Amount stolen was listed as $720.99.

After her arrest, she allegedly threatened the victim for filing a theft report that resulted in Spencer's arrest.
