Man Convicted In Theft & Fraud Spree

A 29-year-old Culver man was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison and four years’ supervised release for a yearlong identity theft and fraud spree that spanned seven Oregon counties and cheated more than 100 individuals, businesses, financial institutions, and communities out of $190,000 until he was apprehended by police in Hood River.  According federal court documents, Garrett Luke Pruitt Rexroad’s conduct from April 2017 to May 2018 covered counties from the Willamette Valley to Central Oregon, including Hood River County.  The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Portland says he was repeatedly released from custody only to commit further crimes.   But on May 25, 2018, Hood River Police found Pruitt Rexroad and three others at the side of a road removing tires from a stolen vehicle.  The officers arrested him after a short foot chase, and Pruitt-Rexroad has been in custody ever since.        Pruitt Rexroad pleaded guilty in October to one count each of access device fraud, aggravated identity theft, and possession of unauthorized access devices.  During sentencing, U.S. District Court Judge Michael W. Mosman ordered Pruitt Rexroad to pay $55,824 in restitution.
