RICHLAND COUNTY, SC (WOLO) – Deputies say a woman is facing jail time because she tried to use someone else’s credit card and identity for a Walmart shopping spree and a hotel stay.
Shaheen Snider, 32, is charged with two counts of identity fraud, forgery and financial transaction card theft, according to Richland County Sheriff’s Department.
On May 1, 2016, deputies say Snider was working at the Citgo Petro Mart on Garners Ferry Road, where she worked as a cashier. According to investigators she swapped the victim’s credit card with a different one.
Using the same victim’s identification in May 2017, deputies say Snider purchased a hotel room on Garners Ferry Road.
