Zyeama Y. Johnson, 27, was wanted in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for failing to appear in court 11 times in connection with various fraud and traffic charges.

After her misguided decision to apply for a job with a sheriff’s office in New Jersey, she was invited to a fake interview where she was taken into custody, NJ.com reports.

Immediately following her arrest, Ms Johnson was allegedly found to be in possession of two stolen credit cards and was also charged with credit card theft.

She has been jailed in New Jersey to await extradition to Pennsylvania, police said.
