JACKSONVILLE – U.S. Attorney Roger B. Handberg announced that Rohan Conrad Campbell, 49, of Jamaica, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison for the wire fraud offense and a consecutive minimum mandatory sentence of two years in federal prison for the aggravated identity theft offense.

Campbell has agreed to forfeit $4,207, representing his offenses’ proceeds. His sentencing hearing hasn’t been scheduled.     

According to the plea agreement and public records, on Aug. 5, 2017, Campbell entered a Five Star Cellular store in Clay County. Campbell obtained multiple cell phones using a fraudulently established account and a counterfeit State of Washington driver's license, both in the name of a victim. On Aug. 15, 2017, Campbell returned to a Sprint store in Clay County to collect cellphones he had fraudulently ordered using another victim’s identity. A store employee recognized Campbell and called the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. Upon arriving and making contact with Campbell, Campbell provided a deputy with a counterfeit Washington driver’s license in the identity of a third victim. As a deputy was talking with him, Campbell ran but was tackled. Campbell then got up and fled but was later apprehended by the CCSO after a pursuit.

A follow-up investigation by CCSO and the U.S. Secret Service determined Campbell set up numerous fraudulent accounts, using counterfeit identification documents in the identity of various victims, and obtained thousands of dollars worth of cell phones at multiple stores in Florida.

Campbell was arrested on May 31, 2018. After being released on pretrial supervision, Campbell fled the jurisdiction in August 2019, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Campbell remained a fugitive for over three years until law enforcement arrested him in early 2023. 

This case was investigated by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Secret Service – Jacksonville Field Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin C. Frein is prosecuting it. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer M. Harrington is handling the asset forfeiture.
