Thursday, Oct. 4, 2001 | 10:36 a.m.

A Las Vegas woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly impersonating an Immigration and Naturalization Service employee.

According to the indictment, Norma Olga Benavidez began telling people in June 2000 that she was the personal assistant to the head of the INS office in Las Vegas and she could help them with the immigration process for a fee.

Benavidez was not an employee with the INS.

Benavidez faces seven counts of mail fraud and one count of false impersonation of a federal employee.
