My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
My coworker was talking to me the other day about possible credit card fraud he commited. We work at a shipping and packing retail store that has P.O. Boxes. He said that he was sorting the mail for the P.O. Boxes and noticed a retail store credit card in envelope. It isn't a visa credit card or anything like that... it can only be used at that retail location. He supposedly used the card to buy stuff from the retail store. They never asked for ID he said, he just walked in, picked out what he wanted, then went to the counter they rang up the stuff and he slid the card in the card reader and the transaction completed... he went back a few weeks later and did the same thing... the transactions totalled less than $200. He doesn't have possession of the items he purchased nor reciepts nor anything linking him to the crime. The card owner came into the store and explained to us what had happened and that she had an investigator working the case and that they had gotten video from the retail location of the crime being committed. He is worried that they will catch him, nobody has contacted him, this happened about 2 weeks ago and the purchases were made about 3-4 weeks ago. Can they prosecute him just from the video? He has a petit theft charge that was adjudication witheld about a year ago... What are chances of him being arrested and or prosecuted on this and what possible charges might he face and the consequences of those charges.. he cant afford and attorney because he already has one retained for a domestic battery charge he's in the process of fighting. He has since changed his life and ways of thinking and devoted his life to god and his family. He's really scared and wants to know what to do about this... should he send the card holder the money she lost (even tho the credit card company probably already did this) or should he wait to see if hes even labeled as a suspect.
