Georgia man caught with stolen credit cards

A Georgia man is facing charges after being caught with stolen credit cards Nov. 6 at a retail store off U.S. Highway 321.

Brendan DeBoer, deputy director of the 9th Judicial District Drug Task Force, was notified that Lucky Monday Ike, 48, Acworth, Georgia, was making suspicious purchases with credit cards at the store in Lenoir City.

Lenoir City Police Department met Ike, who had possession of two credit cards in his shirt pocket with names that were not his.

Ike allowed officers to retrieve his identification from his rental car. DeBoer noticed a wallet in Ike’s vehicle contained numerous other credit cards that also did not have his name.
Ike had made two purchases with these credit cards Nov. 6 and four purchases Nov. 5 at the store. The total of purchases was $2,899.89.
“A check through U.S. Bank showed that three of these credit cards were obtained fictitiously and were possessed without the account holders’ consent,” DeBoer wrote in a report.
Ike possessed at least five stolen credit cards, which constitutes identity theft trafficking.
Ike was charged with six counts of identity theft, identity theft trafficking and theft over $1,000 and released on $212,000 bond.
