Whataburger Employee Swiped Customer's Card to Pay Probation Fees

Here's why paying in cash is still a great idea! On Jan 31st, a man went to the drive-thru at a Whataburger (delicious) and when he handed his credit card over to pay, the cashier disappeared with it for a few minutes. When she returned, she handed the man his food, gave him his card back and he was on his way. But when his credit card statement came in the mail, there was a $400 charge payable to Coweta County State Court Probation Office. Apparently, 25-year-old, Aleefah Sumpter used the stolen card to pay her probation fines and fees with the CCSCPO. Officials said they notified Sumpter about the charges of identity fraud and financial transaction card fraud. She agreed to turn herself in on Friday but did not show up. Investigators say the 25-year-old is no longer answering their calls. Family members told police she went to Florida for a trip that was already planned before the charges against her were filed. Anyone with information or who knows where Sumpter may be is asked to contact Lt. Det. James McCue with the Senoia Police Department at 770-599-3256, Ext. 108.
