SALT LAKE CITY – Utah police have arrested a woman suspected of posing as a lawyer and negotiating a plea agreement with prosecutors.
Investigators believe Karla Carbo, 29, of South Jordan impersonated an attorney at least three times during the last six months, Sheriff’s Capt. Justin Martinez said on Wednesday.
Carbo was arrested on suspicion of fraud, forgery and identity theft Tuesday, a week after negotiating felony counts down to misdemeanors during plea negotiations on behalf of a client in Summit County, east of Salt Lake City.
The plea caught the attention of Utah State Bar Association officials, who reported that Carbo had been using a legitimate attorney’s name and bar number to represent clients without a license, police said. More Strange News
