MIAMI – A federal jury convicted a former Miami Dade College student for her involvement in a stolen identity tax refund fraud scheme on Thursday.

Prosecutors said tax refunds issued to three different victims were directly deposited into Johnson's account, totaling $63,000.
Thirteen other Miami Dade College students were also arrested in the scheme last November.
Johnson faces up to 10 years in prison when she is sentenced May 27.
