PUNTA GORDA -- The general manager of River City Grill was arrested Monday after allegedly charging almost $1,200 at Rain Cafe to the debit card of a customer who had inadvertently left it behind at River City.
Aaron James Simon, aka Aaron Baldwin, 27, 18366 Burkholder Circle, Port Charlotte, was charged with criminal use of personal identification, fraudulent use of a credit card, uttering a forged instrument, forgery and grand theft. He was released from the Charlotte County Jail Monday on $12,500 bond.
Two Florida Highway Patrol troopers arrested Simon and brought him to the Charlotte County Jail. While there, one of the troopers asked Simon if he knew who the owner of the credit card was.
After Simon said "No," the trooper looked at Simon and said, "It was mine."
At least he didn't taser him.

He needs to be severly punished. Fraud of that type is very serious.

Hi WDLove!
Everyone here loves you still...that's for sure.
You're everyone's favorite person.
:)
Randman: Don't you think that's bad luck? I mean, what are the odds of that happening, seriously? Someone emailed me that link (from that paper) and I couldn't believe my eyes.

Are you kidding? That guy will be a hero while in lockup. And if he has a clean record, he'll likely just get a fine and probation.
Good News of the Weird item but dunno about a full thread devoted to it.

How can you be charged for "fraudulent use of a credit card" if he charged a debit card ? 
The letter of the law would make him go free...

Proving how important correct spelling and phrasing are! Are you willing to go to jail because of a typo? No? Hah!

I have a debit card with the Visa logo on it. It works as either a debit or a credit card. I'd say his goose is cooked. Especially in THAT county.

No, that's not possible.
It's either or !
It's a credit card if you get a monthly statement that you have to pay off completely (e.g some Amex) or partially (MC, VISA).
It's a debit card if that charge automatically hits your bank's checking account.
The logo doesn't ay anything, both, debit and credit cards, can have a VISA logo.

Odds are the judge will state that the spirit of the law would include a debit card. That's the advantage of being a judge. You get to be the one to interpret the law... not morons on a forum.

I DO have a debit card with a Visa logo on it. It has $10K overdraft on it - which is a credit line.
Bank of America. Call 'em. 800-432-1000.
Have at it.

I'd say that morons on a forum could be labeled "forons."

Forons sounds like a mythical atomic particle. Morons were discovered a LONG time ago.

So would an idiot in Florida be called a Floridian?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Wrong. I have a card that I can either:
1) Enter my pin and have $$ removed directly
2) Sign the receipt (no pin) and have it show up on my monthly statement.
Welcome to 2001. ;-)

Debet card just means you can't take out more money than you have on your account, doesn't it?

Naw, on second thought, that'd just be plain old funny.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
