Four individuals from Michigan are accused of conspiring to use other people’s credit card information to make purchases at retail stores in Campbell, Kenton and Boone Counties.

A federal grand jury returned a federal indictment Thursday, charging 34-year-old Tyhkan Brunson, 23-year-old John Cotton, 24-year-old Adam Sanford, and Brittany Bell, all with conspiracy to use unauthorized credit cards, use of unauthorized credit cards, conspiring to possess fifteen or more counterfeit access devices and aggravated identity theft. Bell was also charged with making false statements to the U.S. Secret Service.

The indictment alleges that in May of this year, the defendants used other people’s legitimate card numbers to purchase approximately $4,000 combined in gift cards and other merchandise from the Home Depot, Meijer and Walmart.

Bell allegedly made false statements to Secret Service agents when she told them she had not possessed or used unauthorized cards.

A date for these defendants to appear in court has not yet been scheduled. Brunson, Cotton and Sanford each face a maximum of 25 years in prison while Bell faces a maximum of 30 years.
