(KAIR)--An Atchison woman goes to jail, facing charges related to the theft of a wallet that police say had been left in an Atchison business.
Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News, the investigation, after the use of a financial card inside the wallet was reported to police, led to the arrest of 41-year-old Misty Underwood. “We began an investigation on Wednesday that focused on an incident that would have occurred the day before, on Tuesday. It involved a 21-year-old female that reported to us that her wallet was taken, which included a financial card. We were able to determine that that financial card had been used at three area businesses, and we were able to link that case to Underwood. She was taken into custody on Thursday.”
All totaled, Underwood is accused of spending around $85, leading to a misdemeanor charge of criminal use of a financial card. However, she's accused of signing a false name at the time of the purchases, leaving her to face a felony charge of forgery. She additionally faces a charge of theft for taking the wallet.
Among the items Underwood is accused of using the financial card to purchase is a pizza.
She was booked into the Atchison County Jail following her arrest.
