Half of the Richland County couple wanted for numerous counts of forgery and fraud turned herself in Monday.

Tyease Mosley, 39, surrendered to Richland County Sheriff’s Department deputies Monday at 11 a.m.

Dwayne Eigner, 44, is still wanted by the sheriff’s department, which claimed the couple used a stolen ID to buy several high priced vehicles in Richland County and in Louisiana and North Carolina.

The couple is accused of using a stolen identity on July 26 to purchase an Audi Q7 from an Audi dealership on Two Notch Road. The same ID was used in Louisiana and North Carolina to purchase a Maserati Ghibi, Chevy Corvette and Ford F450, sheriff spokeswoman Brittany Jackamonis said.

Acting on a search warrant, Eigner and Mosley’s home on Duck Pond Road in Wildewood, was searched on Aug. 25. Several laptops and other computers were seized, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said in a news release.

Eigner and Mosley might face additional charges after their computers are examined, Lott said.

Anyone with information about Eigner’s location is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
