According to the Colorado Attorney General's office, Timothy Kuskowski — nabbed by Delta Police in 2008 — pleaded guilty in Summit County to theft as a class-3 felony; identity theft as a class-4 felony and forgery as a class-5 felony. He faces between eight and 24 years in prison when he is sentenced Oct. 5.
Kuskowski, now 46, was indicted in April on multiple counts of identity theft and forgery, as well as a single count of theft in a series and criminal impersonation.

He was already serving time when the April indictment came down. Kuskowski had been arrested in Delta County in June 2008, after City Market employees in Delta noticed similarities between a check he was trying to cash under another man's name and other fraudulent checks received at other Kroger stores.
He fled Delta City Market's manager when the manager followed him out of the store, and other employees, plus an off-duty police officer, had to chase him down. The Delta Police said that upon his arrest, Kuskowski admitted to printing fake ID cards and checks.
A Kroger loss-prevention expert and the Avon Police were already on his trail, working bad check cases elsewhere in the state. Their investigations led to the indictment.
