On August 27, 2025, Victim, a known adult man, made a purchase using his debit card and pin code for about $15.00 at a Speedway gas station in Crystal, Hennepin County, Minnesota, and later believed he had accidentally left his debit card at the checkout counter. The cashier at the time when Victim made his purchase and left his debit card was later identified as Tamika Mary Winters, [DOB REDACTED], “Defendant” herein. Victim later discovered eleven (11) unauthorized transactions on his debit card account from Speedway between the dates of August 31, 2025, and September 2, 2025, totaling $771.28. Victim reported this to Crystal Police Department.
Police investigated and obtained transaction logs and surveillance video for the Speedway and determined that Defendant was the one using Victim’s debit card to make the fraudulent transactions to purchase lottery tickets. Defendant was later interviewed and admitted to using Victim’s debit card to make the fraudulent purchases. Defendant is currently in custody at the Hennepin County jail on separate charges, therefore a warrant is requested.
