ROCKINGHAM — A woman is accused of making more than $20,000 in fraudulent purchases over a four-month period.
Jennifer Maire Byers, 37, allegedly used a man’s Mastercard to make purchases from April-July of 2023.
Warrants allege Byers racked up totals of $1,208.25 in April, $8,119.67 in May, $10,632.13 in June, and $2,340.99 in July.
The warrant for Byers’ arrest was issued Sept. 29, 2023 and she was arrested March 30, 2024.
Byers is charged with four counts of financial card fraud and is being held in the Richmond County Jail on a $5,000 secured bond. She is scheduled to appear in court March 28.
Online records with the N.C. Court System and N.C. Department of Adult Correction appear to show Byers has no other pending charges or prior convictions in the state.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
