A Seattle man who raided a local woman’s bank account to finance a shopping spree was sentenced to five months in jail after pleading no-contest to three counts of felony theft.

On Sept. 26, Khalid Ali Shrieef, 24, pleaded no-contest, known as an Alford plea, in San Juan County Superior Court to three counts of second-degree identity theft, a Class C felony, and to one count of third-degree theft, a gross misdemeanor. He was ordered to serve a total of five months in jail and credited with the time he had served in jail, beginning Aug. 19, while awaiting trial.

He was also ordered to pay $1,050 in fines and fees, and $830 in restitution.

According to court documents, Shrieef obtained numbers from an Orcas Island woman’s debit card and then used her bank account, and her identity, to pay for a multitude of merchandise, including cosmetics and groceries, in at least five separate transactions in April. The woman closed the account and alerted authorities after noticing a series of mysterious and unauthorized charges on her bank statement.

Shrieef was arrested in June at his Seattle home following an investigation by local detectives of the transactions and delivery of ill-gotten goods. According to court documents, he was also convicted recently in King County of identity theft and sentenced earlier in the year.

A Class C felony, second-degree identity theft carries maximum penalties of five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is 4-12 months in jail.
