DSP News Release: Monday, June 29, 2009- Two Charged in Credit Card Theft
Location of Incident:
Date and Time of Occurrence: Saturday, June 27th, 2009 at 3:15 p.m. and 3:56 p.m., respectively
Suspect(s):
Resume: On Saturday the 27th, Troopers were called to the Prices Corner Bowling Lanes for a reported theft of a purse. In this case, the 62-year-old female victim was bowling when a male subject, later identified as Timothy Randall, ran up and grabbed her purse. Randall, and his accomplice Jessica Paoli, took off on foot. The victim’s husband gave chase; however, he was unable to catch the bandits.
About 30 minutes after the theft, the suspects responded to the nearby Wal-Mart location on Centerville Road. Here, they attempted to use the victim’s stolen credit card to purchase several gift cards. This purchase was suspicious to the clerk at Wal-Mart who, with security, questioned Randall and Paoli. They asked for I.D., and when none could be produced, the two bandits again fled on foot. This time, Randall wasn’t so lucky in his escape.
Wal-Mart security officers latched onto Randall; however, Paoli got away. Randall was turned over to responding Troopers who charged him with the following offenses: Identity Theft (felony), Theft (felony), Unlawful Use of a Credit Card (felony) and two counts of Conspiracy 2nd (felony). He was committed to the Howard Young Correctional Institute in lieu of $5,000.00 secured bail.
Warrants were also completed for Jessica Paoli. On Sunday the 28th, Troopers responded to Paoli’s home. Inside, they found Paoli hiding underneath a baby crib. She was Charged with the same aforementioned offenses and committed to the Baylor Woman’s Correctional Institute in lieu of $7,000.00 secured bond.
