ALBERTA (NEWS 1130) – Charges have been laid against a BC woman accused of impersonating a Fort McMurray evacuee.

Jaime Lynn Cox, 39, has been charged with five counts of fraud.

The Victoria woman is accused of taking advantage of people who were trying to help, accepting a place to stay, clothes, and meals.

A charge of fraud was laid earlier this month against Darryl Rondeau. The 45-year-old is also from Victoria.

He has since pleaded guilty.
