The arrest of a fraudster who applied for a job as a security guard in the police

Ziama Y. Johnson confidently headed to the Hudson County Police Department in New Jersey to interview for a job as a security guard in the same department, only to be arrested in what turned out to be a police ambush.

For one reason or another, the woman had applied to work as a security guard in a police department specializing in finding people wanted for pending arrest warrants.

Zima was arrested on 4 October after she attended what she thought was a job interview.

Ironically, she applied to work in Hudson County, New Jersey, USA, in a specialized police department to find people wanted for pending court orders.

 Johnson was wanted by authorities in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, for failure to appear in court on fraud charges, as well as 10 additional injunctions for failure to appear on traffic charges in Jersey City.

An investigator in the Hudson County Sheriff's Office told Newsweek that the girl "has applied for a security guard job."

But the police, who conducted a check on her status, found out that she is wanted on several charges.

"At that point, we called her in for an interview - or rather what I thought was an interview - and we detained her," a spokesperson for the mayor's office said.

Police later announced, after carrying out a routine inventory of Johnson's property, that they discovered two credit cards that had been reported stolen.

It also emerged that Johnson had previously worked for the United States Postal Service.

The woman is currently being held in the Hudson County Jail pending extradition to Pennsylvania, on charges of credit card theft.
