Prosecutors say a former Orange County sheriff’s deputy stole credit cards from a dead woman’s home and used them to make purchases from QVC and an automotive parts store.
A former Orange County sheriff’s deputy stole credit cards from a dead woman’s Yorba Linda home and used them to make purchases from QVC and an automotive parts store, prosecutors said Friday.
The Orange County district attorney’s office announced Hortz’s second case Friday. His arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 26. Authorities arrested Hortz last year in that first case, alleging that the 12-year veteran had responded to the man’s home in Yorba Linda for a welfare check on July 20, 2020, and found the homeowner dead of natural causes. Hortz allegedly returned to the home several times — including once on duty wearing his deputy uniform — to steal the man’s belongings.
Authorities have since discovered that in August 2020 — before Hortz was identified as a suspect in the deceased man’s case — he was called to the home of a dead woman in Yorba Linda, where he allegedly stole three credit cards.
