It had been stolen from a person’s car, the station reported.

She met the victim and he informed her his wallet was likewise stolen. He revealed her unapproved charges on his charge card at a McDonald’s, a convenience store and a Walmart, as per WBBH.

She then discovered a McDonald’s invoice in a bag and talked to the victim once again. The unapproved charge on his charge card matched the quantity on the invoice.

“When he informed me, I just broke down,” she informed the station.

Salters was imprisoned then released.

The sad part about this is.. since he’s a minor.. SHE could technically be financially responsible if any civil suits are filed by the victims.
