LAMAR (AP) - A southwest Missouri sheriff's wife is accused of using her mother-in-law's Social Security numbers and those of two other people to run up $14,000 in credit-card debt. Susan Michelle Higgins, the wife of Barton County Sheriff Shannon Higgins, is charged with one count of felony identity theft. A statement alleges that Susan Higgins used Social Security numbers in April 2005 to get American Express cards. The cards carried the names of Jules and Twila Hollingshead and Higgins' mother-in-law, Sharon Higgins. The Hollingsheads used their Social Security numbers to get a bingo license for a community center. Hollingshead and Higgins both served on the center board. Higgins denied she used the couple's data to get the credit card.
