4 from Michigan in Boardman court in credit-car scam
BOARDMAN — Four Michigan residents accused in a credit-card scheme are slated to return to court Feb. 23 for a preliminary hearing.
Township police last week arrested Chauncey E. Peteet III, 22, of Oak Park; Quintez T. Salter, 21, of Farmington Hills; Brittany L. Winton, 20, of Clinton Township; and Christopher Hollingsworth, 35, of Detroit. All are charged with possession of criminal tools, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity and telecommunication fraud. Peteet also is charged with theft, and the other three are charged with complicity to theft.
They appeared Tuesday in Mahoning County Area Court, where they were declared indigent.
Police found gift cards and a magnetic-strip-card reader/writer in a room at the Red Roof Inn. The individuals each had several credit cards in their possession and are accused of obtaining stolen credit-card account information and using a magnetic-reader device to put the stolen information on a credit card bearing one of their names.
