Tate Student Facing Felony Charges For Stealing Student’s Debit Card

May 23, 2012

A Tate High School student is facing several charges — including two felonies — for allegedly stealing and using another student’s debit card.

Xavier Shacour Stallworth, 18, was charged with two felony counts of fraud, three counts of credit card fraud, one count of larceny of a credit card, one count of second degree petit theft, one count of possession of marijuana and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Last Friday, a Tate student reported to the school’s resource officer that she was unable to locate her debit card. She checked her account online and found six fraudulent purchases at businesses near the school that were made before 8 a.m. on Friday — two at McDonalds, one at Winn Dixie and three at the SpeedMart convenience store.

Stallworth appeared on surveillance video making at least one of the purchases, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.

About 11 a.m., the school resource officer reported seeing Stallworth checking into school late — wearing the same clothes that he had on in the surveillance videos. On Stallworth’s person, the deputy found multiple items purchased with the stolen card, a burnt marijuana cigarette, Swisher Sweet Cigarillos, and rolling papers.

Early Wednesday morning, Stallworth remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $12,500.

    I have had my debit card hacked 2 times. It is not funny. Very harmful and hateful for anyone to use another person’s debit, credit cards, or for that matter writing checks on someone else account. Stealing is stealing, no matter what you call it. Sorry buddy what goes around comes around.

    18 years old and what he knows it to just take what you want when you want it.
    Doesn’t really matter who owns anything.

    Another usless member of society…and he is just starting out. We will most likely be seeing his face on the news some where.
