On January 12, 2024, at approximately 9:38 A.M., Fergus Falls Police Officer Tyler Young was dispatched to Lakeway Market located at [ADDRESS REDACTED] in Fergus Falls, a location in Otter Tail County. Officer Young met with Lakeway staff and learned that a vehicle with the license plate FLG166 charged purchases with an unauthorized card from Cooper's Office Supply. Officer Young met with an employee of Olson Oil Company and learned that $1,508.76 worth of fuel had been charged to Cooper's Office Supply through their gas account with Olson Oil.
Detective Matt Estep was assigned for follow up investigation. Detective Estep reviewed surveillance footage at Olson Oil. Olson Oil indicated that that as of March 25, 2024, there was approximately $4,159.30 in fraudulent fuel charges. Surveillance footage of the fraudulent purchases showed vehicles registered to Emily Newman being fueled, a vehicle identified previously driven by Jorden Jongbloed- Wetzstein, (herein "Defendant Jongbloed-Wetzstein"), a Chevrolet Impala registered to Jennifer Anderson and driven by David Cantrell, and a vehicle registered to Cyndie Fernandez.
Newman was interviewed by Detective Estep. Newman indicated that Defendant Jongbloed-Wetzstein had been using her car during the time frame captured by the surveillance footage. Detective Matt Estep made contact with Fernandez who indicated that she was at Olson Oil with Defendant Jongbloed-Wetzstein and she gave Defendant Jongbloed-Wetzstein $30 in cash and he used a card to put $40 in fuel into her tank at the time. Detective Matt Estep met with David Cantrell. Cantrell indicated that he met Defendant Jongbloed-Wetzstein through his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Vold (herein "Defendant Vold"). Cantrell indicated that he and Defendant Vold used the cards to fill several barrels of fuel and haul them out to Colorado.
Cantrell stated that Defendant Vold provided cards on multiple occasions and that he would just be required to pay her back. Cantrell recalled a time where defendant Vold took a card out of the drawer at Olson Oil for Cantrell to get fuel and just bring it back. In a Mirandized interview, the defendant stated she did not know anything about gas cards being used and she denied access to the cards. When confronted with statements of other people, the defendant indicated that she did know where the cards were.
The defendant eventually stated that she told other people exactly where the cards were located behind the counter at Olson Oil as well as how the cards worked. Surveillance videos on 12 separate occasions between January 29, 2024 - March 21, 2024, show Defendant Jongbloed-Wetzstein fill up vehicles with a total of $532.08 in fuel using the card without authorization. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 609.49., intentional failure to appear for duly scheduled court appearances may result in additional criminal charges, and in addition to any arrest warrant that may otherwise be issued by the Court.
