A clerk at Love’s Truck Stop was charged with using customer’s credit cards for her own use, according to an OCSO incident report.

An employee of the Five Chop Road business told deputies Tuesday that the company had been monitoring a clerk for a while.

Deputies allege the clerk admitted that she recorded the numbers from customers’ fleet cards as they would use them. She would then use the number to make purchases for her own use. She said she had been recording the numbers for the past two months, the report said.

Asia Evans, 22, of 5699 Freedom Road, Branchville, was charged with breach of trust with fraudulent intent, financial transaction card fraud and forgery between $1,000 and $5,000.
