Management told officers that an employee had been observed on camera taking pictures of customers’ debit and credit cards as they were used to pay for services. Officers were shown multiple instances on surveillance footage recorded on the same day.

Police identified the employee as Jordan Cheatum Shivers, who was working the cash register. The affidavit states Shivers could be seen taking a card from a customer, holding his cellphone close with the camera application open, and photographing both the front and back of the card.

Investigators reported that Shivers was seen taking images of seven different debit or credit cards. His phone was seized as evidence, and he was taken into custody without incident.

Shivers, 18, was arrested on seven counts of theft of property involving a credit or debit card, all Class D felonies.

Bail was set at $35,000 cash or surety. Shivers’ next court date is scheduled for Feb. 27.

All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
