Eric Jerome Pratt, 43, and Jade Jean Birton, who will turn 31 on Saturday, both of Maple Grove, have been charged in Hennepin County District Court with identity theft and theft by swindle on suspicion of opening accounts at Topline Federal Credit Union with another person’s U.S. Treasury check and then making withdrawals.
Pratt and Birton have since been released from jail after each posted a $5,000 bond. They have court hearings scheduled in the weeks ahead.
