Goldsboro, N.C. — A Goldsboro woman is accused of using her boyfriend's identity to apply for a credit card and stealing it from his mailbox when it arrived.
Lemeka Angeria Kornegay, 26, of 173-B Millers Chapel Road, was arrested Monday and charged with one count of financial identity theft and one count of financial transaction card theft.

Patterson contacted authorities, who traced the card to Kornegay, the sheriff's office said.
Kornegay was in the Wayne County Jail Monday under a $7,500 bond.
