In San Antonio, Texas, Jason Miller, an instructional assistant, has been fired due to being charged with identity theft.  The instructional assistant had access to forms that this particular school district, Northside Independent School District, used to authorize criminal background checks.  The background checks were used for people who want to volunteer at the school.  In the stack that was found, there were the eight alleged victim’s names.  Now the school district is limiting who has access to these forms.

People who wanted to volunteer at the school did have the option of completing the form online or printing it out.  Now they can only do it online.  Apparently the instructional assistant had asked Taylor Stakes to be a judge at the high school’s debate tournament in September and apparently had his identity stolen by Jason Miller.

Taylor Stakes stated that he gave the instructional assistant a tax form on the background authorization form when he came in to be the judge at the tournament.  He was filed in about the illegal activity and having is identity stolen by the Live Oak detectives.

Mr. Miller had been going to various payday loan locations and getting payday loans in Mr. Stake’s name.  Mr. Miller then opened checking accounts, deposited the money he had borrowed, and then pulled it out and put it in his checking account.  The instructional assistant did confess to stealing Taylor Stake’s information.
