A Dubuque County resident has been charged with identity theft after being accused of opening credit cards in the name of a Dubuque resident and racking up around 90-thousand dollars in charges.
Dubuque Police say 36-year old Benjamin Beaman of Holy Cross was arrested Sunday night.

They say a phone number listed on several credit card applications was associated with Beaman.
