Mount Olive, N.C. — A Mount Olive woman is accused of stealing her former boss’s credit card and using it to shop at Wal-Mart, the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday.
Investigators said they were reviewing purchase activity on a credit card that was reported stolen and found the card had been used about five times at area Wal-Mart stores. Security video from the stores showed the same woman using the card each time, police said.
The business owner who reported the stolen card positively identified the suspect from the video as Jessica Leigh Swinson, 30, of the 800 block of Norwood Ezell Road. Swinson was the business owner’s former secretary, police said.
She was charged with unlawful obtaining credit card, financial card fraud and obtaining property by false pretense. She was held on a $7,500 secured bond.

I had someone get ahold of my AMEX card and get 4k off of it. It was a incredible hassle to deal with, between the Police and the store where the money orders were purchased. AMEX was great to deal with.
Beyond the crime?? Not even...

Yes. Far too many people are no longer shamed by doing bad things. Your comment trivializes her crime. She IS a thief. She committed robbery for all practical purposes.
