A Tulsa woman was indicted in Tulsa’s federal district court on six felony charges arising from use of stolen credit and identification cards – six months after she informed the same court that she intended to plead guilty to aggravated identity theft in the use of another person’s ID while simultaneously facing trial in three state ID theft cases.
Kaci Anne Rene Lima, also known as Kaci Cackler, was indicted May 2, 2023, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma on six felony charges: three counts of wire fraud, one count of aggravated ID theft, possession of stolen mail, and possession of multiple unauthorized access devices.
In that case she used the maiden name, date of birth, and Social Security number of a woman known as “N.A.” to submit a fraudulent credit application and purchase orders on Oct. 9, 2022, to a company identified in court records as “B.M.F.” Lima/Cackler admitted that by means of wire fraud she purchased furniture that was delivered to her apartment.
At the time of her arrest on Jan. 19, 2023, she was found in possession of more than 900 pieces of mail plus “articles and things … which had been stolen, taken, embezzled, and abstracted from a letter box, mail receptacle, mail route, and authorized depository for mail matter…” On that date she also was found in possession of more than 30 credit and debit cards and account numbers, investigators reported.
Lima submitted a petition Sept. 6, 2023, to enter a guilty plea to aggravated ID theft, and the other five charges were dismissed.
In a presentence investigation it was reported that she was abused as a child and has “struggled with substance abuse, specifically methamphetamine, since early adulthood,” which resulted in her losing custody of her three minor children in 2018.
On Sept. 16, 2024, U.S. District Judge John D. Russell sentenced Lima to two years in prison and ordered her to undergo mental health and substance abuse treatment while incarcerated at Carswell Correctional Center at Fort Worth, Texas.
Three months later, on Dec. 11, 2024, Lima pleaded guilty in Tulsa County District Court to three felony ID theft charges filed in 2020, 2022 and 2023. She received a three-year deferred state prison sentence, all three state convictions to run concurrently with the federal conviction and subject to review in December 2027. In addition, another state ID theft case filed in 2023 was dismissed.
However, Lima/Cackler, 35, was indicted May 21, 2025, in Tulsa’s federal district court on three counts of bank fraud and three counts of aggravated identity theft.
Those charges allege that on March 17, 2024, while still under indictment on the first federal case, Lima found a wallet “which contained K.W.’s cellular telephone, identification card, and debit card, among other items” while she was at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Catoosa.
Lima is alleged to have used that person’s debit card “to purchase goods” at a Dollar General store in Tulsa and, at a Tulsa Walmart store, attempted to buy a $500 money card and $596 worth of merchandise.
Lima/Cackler was sued in Osage County District Court in 2017 for failure to pay rent. The landlord won a default judgment for $3,605 in past-due rent, $98 court costs, and $360 in at torney fees.
In addition, between 2015 and 2019, Lima was sued 10 times in Tulsa County District Court.
