A man accused of running up nearly $33,000 in credit card bills under the name of music and movie star Will Smith has pled guilty to one count of ‘use of an unauthorized device’ in a US District Court in Pittsburgh. Carlos Lomax acquired Smith's Social Security card number and opened 14 credit card accounts at a number of stores in the Pittsburgh area under the rapper-actor's full name, Williard C. Smith. Lomax faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 – the case is more serious because Lomax is already on probation for running up $81,000 in credit bills under the name of another Smith - Atlanta Hawks basketball player Steve Smith!
