A Clearwater, Florida man was arrested on Monday after he was caught using a company credit card to purchase over $31,000 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets, according to law enforcement officials.
Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office records show Warren Alexander Johnson, 47, has been charged with conducting a scheme to defraud between $20,000 and $50,000.
FOX 13 in Tampa reported that officials said Johnson is a truck driver for All Phase Paving, and an affidavit found the owner of the company discovered one of the company’s credit cards had several thousand dollars worth of fraudulent charges on it back in September 2023.
