Deputies arrested 31-year-old Ashley Odessa Chiasson Thursday on grand theft and fraud charges. Earlier this year, the sheriff's office extradited 28-year-old Ashley Nicole Chiasson from Chalmette, Louisiana, and jailed her twice on separate charges.
 
The Florida Times-Union reports the two women differed in description by 5 inches and 20 pounds.
 
An attorney for the wrongly accused Chiasson sent the sheriff a letter of intent to sue on Monday.
