A Ruston woman was arrested last week after she allegedly photographed a customer’s credit card and then use the number to make personal purchases.
Peyton Garr, 21, was arrested November 20 by Ruston Police after viewing video showing her photographing the credit card at a Cooktown Road restaurant.
The fast food restaurant manager provided officers a video from the previous night that showed Garr photographing the customer’s card. The manager said Garr made a purchase with the customer’s card for $150.
Garr initially denied the incident, but later admitted to police she used the card number to buy clothing.
An officer’s report said Garr did it because she knew someone who had done it and thought she could also.
Police booked Garr at the Lincoln Parish Detention Center for theft.
