Curtis Wayne Hunley, 47, of 41 EMS T16B Lane, Leesburg, was booked in the Elkhart County Jail Thursday and faces two Level 6 felony charges for fraud and one Class A misdemeanor theft charge.
According to the probable cause affidavit filed Feb. 12, 2019, in Elkhart Superior Court IV, on Oct. 20, 2017, a woman went to the Nappanee Police Department to report that her debit card was used several times between Sept. 1 and Oct. 20, 2017.
The woman told police that she was at work when this happened and the charges are all from a Marathon gas station and a local liquor store. When police went to the gas station and the liquor store to obtain video surveillance, the woman identified Hunley as the man in the videos – a longtime friend of hers, she said, according to court papers.
Hunley allegedly used the debit card multiple times to make purchases – all less than $20 – at the gas station and at the liquor store, for a total of $377.44 during the time span.
According to court records, Hunley had been cooperating with the court to resolve the case, however, he failed to appear at a hearing on Aug. 27, and an arrest warrant was issued.
His bond was set at $3,000.
