A 28-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday for allegedly using a Lincoln man’s identity to obtain five credit cards and making more than $4,000 in charges.

Karah Jean Vaisvilas, a transient, allegedly applied online for the credit cards in the 25-year-old man’s name in December, said Lincoln Police Officer Katie Flood.

The man was temporarily living with Vaisvilas and her boyfriend, who is the man’s father, Flood said.

Vaisvilas allegedly made online purchases totaling $1,947.22 to a Best Buy credit card, $1,075.43 to a Sears credit card, $497.26 to a Wal-Mart card and $497.68 to a Gordman’s card, Flood said.

Vaisvilas also allegedly obtained but did not use a Victoria’s Secret card, Flood said.

She was arrested and jailed on five counts of criminal impersonation, Flood said.
