Randy R. Gordon, 33, of 1044 Heritage Court, Bellefontaine, was charged Thursday with misuse of a credit card and theft related to incidents reported by his employer.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office first received a report Feb. 28 from his employer, Kevin Slaven of Dr. Lee’s Stove Shop in DeGraff, who reported that a company credit card had been used for unauthorized purchases. He named possible suspects and deputies continued their investigation at that time.
Deputies were able to review video surveil- lance from when the credit card was utilized at the Murphy Oil gas station located at Walmart, 2281 S. Main St., Bellefontaine. Gordon was identified as a suspect.
Gordon was located Thursday at his parents’ address in Zanesfield and was placed under arrest. He admitted to deputies that he had used the credit card eight times for purchases totaling $173.55, and then had put the credit card back in the cash box at the business Feb. 28.
He was lodged in the Logan County Jail.
