On Dec. 19, an officer entered a report of Credit Card or Debit Card Abuse, a state jail felony, from a business in the 1200 block of Clarksville St. Employees of the business told the officer they had processed multiple orders for materials totaling more than $70,000, and the customer had paid with credit cards. The materials had been picked up by the buyer’s employees. The customer also placed and provided credit card information for another order valued at over $25,000, which the seller canceled before providing the materials. The reporting business has since been notified that the credit card charges have been disputed, resulting in the funds being removed from the seller’s bank account. The report will be investigated by the Criminal Investigation Division.
