LARGO A Pinellas County Utilities worker was arrested today on charges he used his ex-wife's identity to subscribe to DirecTV, according to the Pinellas Sheriff's Office.
He also used his dental plan, which was in his ex-wife's name, to obtain dental coverage for his current girlfriend, sheriff's officials said.
Scott M. Moore, 38, of Palm Harbor, faces one count of criminal use of personal information, or identity theft. The utilities inspector was taken into custody this morning at the utilities' general maintenance building at 6720 142nd Ave. in Largo.
Detectives began looking into Moore's activities on Feb. 26, when Moore's ex-wife, who lives in Middleborough, Mass., started receiving bills from DirecTV and the dental office, the sheriff's office said.
No other information was available.
