An employee of the McKale Snack Bar, 1721 E. Enke Drive, was arrested Thursday around 2 p.m. for fraudulently using another student's CatCard number to make $94.99 worth of purchases at the snack bar, reports stated.

An employee of the store noticed the activity was going on when the owner of the card told the employee that his card had been charged while he was in Mexico for spring break, reports stated.

Most of the charges had been made when only one employee was working. When that employee arrived to work for the day, police took him aside to question him, reportsstated.

The officers asked the employee several times if he knew who had been charging the student's card, and he said no.

The officers told the employee that they knew everything and read him his rights. The student confessed that he had written down the customer's CatCard number while the customer wasn't looking, reports stated.

He then used the number for purchases, reports stated.

Police asked the employee if he had memorized or written down any other numbers, and he said, "This was the only one," reports stated.

The employee was cited and released for fraudulent use of a credit card. He told police he was a senior and would not be eligible for the diversion program because he had already been through the program for minor in possession of alcohol two years ago, reports stated.

The snack bar credited the money back to the student's CatCard.
