Fast-Food Customers Pay For Wedding

Charge Card Numbers Swiped

A cashier at a fast-food restaurant was charged with stealing customers' credit card numbers to pay for some of her wedding expenses, police said. Jaqueeba Marshall, 22, used credit card numbers from nine customers at a Pizza Hut-Taco Bell-KFC restaurant in Clearwater, Fla., to pay for flowers, dresses and items bought at a bridal shop, Pinellas County Sheriff's deputies said.

Fifty extra guest reservations on a cruise ship that hosted the April 7 ceremony and reception were also bought with the stolen numbers, police said.

Investigators were trying to determine if $4,000 in limousine rental fees and a seven-day trip to Hawaii were paid for with the stolen credit card numbers, sheriff's detective Karl Cruise said.

Authorities said that they learned of the scheme when a bridal shop in Dunedin, Fla., just northwest of St. Petersburg, Fla., reported complaints from restaurant customers about charges from the wedding store on their credit card bills.

Marshall was charged Tuesday with scheming to defraud, police said. Her husband, Charles Johnson, also works at the restaurant but has not been charged.
