RANKIN COUNTY, MS (Mississippi News Now) -

A 24-year-old Jackson man has been charged with fraudulent use of a credit card in Rankin County. 

Sheriff Bryan Bailey says Samuel Lee Thompson was charged Feb. 9 with taking money from the account of a Rankin County woman after stealing her debit card when she presented it to him for payment.

Thompson was a clerk at the Kroger store on Spillway Road. He is charged with clearing out the woman's account which was worth $600.  

Thompson kept her card and gave her back a bogus card when she checked out. He is free on a $6,000 bond.
