P.M., "Victim" herein, stated that she discovered her bank card was missing on December 2, 2025, and learned that the card had been used that day for transactions not approved by her. P.M.

Law enforcement learned the suspect vehicle was registered to J. K. W. Law enforcement observed that Defendant was a known contact of J. K. W.

Defendant stated that he found the bank card in the parking lot the same day that he used it.
