Winnebago County Files Two Identity-Theft Felonies Against Leida Margaretha With Oct. 20 Court Date

The new case follows months of court supervision on separate bail-jumping charges that are due back in court October 1.

Overview

  • Court records list two counts of identity theft to obtain money or credit filed in Winnebago County, which is not her county of residence.
  • A summons issued the day the complaint was filed orders her to appear on October 20, and reporters have found no public record of a related arrest.
  • Prosecutors allege 2023 transactions using employer and customer banking details, including payments tied to a company called Proud American Logistics.
  • She remains charged in two felony bail-jumping cases over alleged bond violations, with a return date of October 1, and she was ordered to surrender her passport after a July arrest.
  • Earlier employer-related felony cases from October 2023 and May 2024 were dismissed in December 2024 and May 2025, and police continue to investigate the July death of her infant daughter.
