Janet Jeffers, 45, Swanton, Ohio was released early after serving 17 months of her 2 ½ year sentence for identity theft, passing a bad check, and forgery.
From December, 2001, to March, 2003, Jeffers used the Social Security numbers and financial information of her employers, Marcia Guinan and her late husband, James Guinan, to obtain loans and credit cards in the Guinan’s names. She also took out a mortgage on the Guinans' home and stole at least $30,000 from their corporate checking account.
