PORTLAND — A man from Windham has been sentenced to three months in prison for applying for and using a credit card in another person’s name.

The U.S. Attorney’s office says 46-year-old Manuel Arruda was sentenced Wednesday on charges of mail and access device fraud and identity theft. He also was ordered to pay back nearly $12,000 charged to the card.

Arruda pleaded guilty in February. Court documents said in 2012, he applied online for a Chase Bank Freedom credit card in someone else’s name, using the person’s date of birth and Social Security number.

Prosecutors said he obtained that information using his position as a service manager at a Portland car dealership when the victim brought his truck in for servicing.

The application was approved; Arruda received two credit cards.
