Three arrested on forgery, identity theft charges

Three suspects made initial court appearances Monday in connection to an alleged identity theft and forgery ring after an informant provided information to investigators.

Klayton Kidrick is charged with felony theft of identity, felony forgery and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

Cody Smith is charged with accountability to forgery and identity theft, both felonies.

Wava Husemoller is charged with identity theft, forgery, felony drug possession and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to court documents, investigators with the Cascade County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant for Husemoller's residence Saturday and found personal information including credit card information, pay stubs, tax information, bank statements, student loan information and credit card receipts. They reported finding a printer with a fraudulent credit card inside, photocopies of credit cards, drug paraphernalia and baggies with residue that tested as methamphetamine.

Charging documents say the investigators also obtained a warrant for Kidrick's residence where they reported finding additional receipts, a Social Security card, a military ID, a credit card, photocopies of other credit cards and more drug paraphernalia.

The report says Kidrick admitted to making fraudulent payroll checks and cashing them. He also said he was attempting to make credit cards, but was not successful, according to court documents. Court reports say investigators located all three suspects at Kidrick's location, where it appeared credit cards were being made.

Court documents indicate all three suspects have multiple convictions on their records. The reports say Kidrick and Husemoller have previous forgery convictions, and Smith has previous drug-related convictions.

Kidrick posted the requested $25,000 bond. The state requested Husemoller's bond be set at $25,000 and Smith's be set at $10,000.
