A high-ranking New Mexico official charged with dozens of counts related to alleged campaign finance fraud is now facing allegations of identity theft.
The state attorney general's office filed a criminal complaint Friday afternoon in state district court accusing Secretary of State Dianna Duran of listing a former state lawmaker as treasurer of her campaign without his knowledge.
The complaint details an interview that investigators had with Don Kidd about his name being used on several reports filed by Duran as part of her 2010 campaign. Kidd said he had nothing to do with the campaign other than making a donation.
The complaint also stated that a review by investigators uncovered more than 100 transactions totaling more than $10,000 within bank statements that were not listed as campaign expenditures.
