ROCKINGHAM — Police have charged a man accused of racking up nearly $250 in charges with a stolen debit card.
According to warrants, 41-year-old Eric Dushawn Terry used a female victim’s debit card from the State Employees Credit Union multiple times in late November.
Warrants allege that Terry used the card at a store on Fayetteville Road to make one purchase of miscellaneous items totaling $7.70, another for $12.21, and a third — buying two cases of Corona — for $41.61.
Terry also allegedly used the card to buy $185.97 worth of liquor from the ABC Store on Fayetteville Road.
The arrest warrant was issued Dec. 16 and he was arrested in the early morning hours of Jan. 8.
Terry is charged with one count of financial card theft, and four counts each of identity theft and obtaining property by false pretenses. He is being held in the Richmond County Jail on $15,000 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 23.
It appears Terry has no other pending charges.
Records with the N.C. Department of Adult Correction show Terry was convicted in 2012 on one misdemeanor count each of assault on a female and injury to real property.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
