A Moses Lake man pleaded not guilty to 61 counts of identity theft during his arraignment this week in Kittitas County Superior Court.
Kyle Michale Armour, 33, also said he was not guilty on two additional counts of second-degree possession of stolen property.
The number of felony counts seemed to catch Judge L. Candace Hooper by surprise at the start of Monday’s hearing.
“Mr. Armour, it looks like you are charged with — oh, my goodness — 61 counts of identity theft in the second degree,” Hooper said.
