This report from Gillette, Wyoming
Deputies arrested a former Campbell County Memorial Hospital psychiatrist and his girlfriend on suspicion of stealing someone’s identity, Sheriff Bill Pownall said.
Dr. Lyndon Keith Steinhaus, 46, and 41-year-old Darcy Jo Bogenrief came under suspicion after Ozaukee, Wis., investigators notified Campbell County deputies last week about an identity theft.
Deputies searched Steinhaus’ and Bogenrief’s Robin Drive home Thursday and discovered evidence that led to their arrest, Pownall said. The case has been forwarded to the County Attorney’s Office for review, and the two have not yet been formally charged.
Pownall said he did not have any more details about the case because the investigation report is not yet complete. He said he thinks the victim lives in Wisconsin.
“I’ll be right honest, I look for further charges,” Pownall said.
The court paperwork was not ready at press time because Steinhaus and Bogenrief were arrested based on the evidence at their home and investigators did not ask for warrants before the arrest.
The hospital terminated Steinhaus’ employment Tuesday, said Karen Clarke, a hospital spokeswoman. Clarke would not say why he was let go because it is a personnel issue.
Steinhaus and Bogenrief were scheduled to appear in Circuit Court for their initial appearance Friday afternoon.
