FAIRFIELD, CA — A Fairfield man has pleaded guilty to federal bank fraud and identity theft charges, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Steven Miller, 48, used someone else's social security number to fill out a credit application to purchase a Dodge Challenger Hellcat in Yuba City in 2018. Based on the credit he stole, a bank approved the load and paid over $75,000 to the dealership.
