Waitress Steals Credit Card Info For Small Fee

A waitress at Bubba Gump’s restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans was arrested recently and charged with possession of fraudulent documents and credit card skimming.

Jaleesa Jimerson reportedly used a skimming device to record the credit card information of up to 50 Bubba Gump customers.  The device was given to her by a man and a woman who also paid Jimerson $220 for her services.

When police showed up at Bubba Gump’s with a warrant, Jimerson excused herself and tried to hide the skimming device in the bathroom.  Police soon found it and arrested the waitress.  She received 108 counts for each card she skimmed, making for a massive indictment.

The judge in the case, Gerard Hansen, set a $5,000 bond for each count, and since there were so many counts, it soon added up to $1,080,000.  Jamison remained jailed after the hearing since apparently the pay isn’t so good in credit card skimming.

There was no word if any money was stolen using the swiped card info.  Jimerson still awaits sentencing.
