PINE BLUFF, Ark. (AP) – Authorities say an Arkansas thief got his just deserts
when he tried to pay for a meal using the waitress’ stolen credit card.
Police spokesman Lt. David De Foor said in a news release that officers
arrested 21-year-old Shamon West on Tuesday at Shannon’s Restaurant in Pine
Bluff. He says that “having no desire to pay for the fellow’s meal,” waitress
Flora Lunsford called to report that the man had tried paying for his meal with
her stolen credit card.
De Foor says officers found other items on West that had been in Lunsford’s
purse when it was stolen from her car Sunday at a nearby gas station while she
was inside, including her Social Security card and driver’s license.
West is being held at the Jefferson County jail in lieu of $2,840 bond on
forgery and theft by receiving charges. Jail records don’t list an attorney.
