Two charged with identity theft in Clare Co. A pair of Warren residents have been charged with identity theft in Clare County as the result of a Michigan State Police investigation. Troopers from the Mount Pleasant Post report the investigation stemmed from a report of check fraud made in May of 2011. Two suspects were identified during the investigation -- a 32-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man. The pair were arrested Thursday by the Michigan State Police 2nd District Fugitive Team in southeast Michigan. Each faces one count of identity theft, which is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $25,000 fine. Both are being held in the Clare County Jail. A Midland man was jailed for drugged driving and marijuana possession after a traffic stop in Isabella County's Union Township on Friday.
