A suspect in various identity thefts and forgeries over the course of the past few years has been arrested, and the DA’s office is asking other victims to come forward.
Donna Marie Morriss, 47, has been indicted on four separate cases by the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office (MCDA) totaling 46 charges, including 15 counts of Aggravated Identity Theft, nine counts of Felony Computer Crime, eight counts of Forgery in the First Degree, four counts of Fraudulent Use of a Credit Card, and four counts of Theft in the First Degree. She was arrested by Portland Police on an outstanding warrant on April 3, 2024, and is currently in custody at the Multnomah County Detention Center.
The four indicted cases involved key information provided to MCDA by Multnomah County Adult Protective Services, which investigates allegations of abuse, self-neglect, and financial exploitation of seniors and people with disabilities. A number of the indicted charges are supported by allegations that the victims were vulnerable. Victims who are vulnerable include the elderly and disabled adults.
Investigators believe there may be additional victims. As further investigation is underway, investigators encourage anyone who believes they may have been a victim of Morriss’ to email damailbox@mcda.us, using the subject line Donna Morriss.
MCDA thanks the many partners who are assisting with these cases, including the Portland Police Bureau, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General, Multnomah County Adult Protective Services, Rivermark Community Credit Union, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
Morriss is only accused of committing a crime. She is innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
