Former police chief charged with forgery

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) - August 14, 2008 Former Falls Township police chief Jason Kizer was arraigned Wednesday on charges of tampering with public records or information, forgery and criminal conspiracy. He was released on $10,000 unsecured bail.

According to a police affidavit, Kizer forged police reports for a girlfriend, 26-year-old Catherine Wazny, of Clarks Summit.

Police say Wazny then used the false reports to claim she was a victim of identity theft and falsely obtain nearly $3,000 in credit and debt relief from utility and credit card companies. Police say Kizer denies the allegations.

Wazny is awaiting sentencing in federal court for identity theft.
