charged
with identity theft
Fashion
model Beverly Peele has been charged with identity theft
for allegedly buying about $10,000 worth of housewares,
appliances and furniture with someone else's credit card
numbers. Peele, who has been featured in magazine
ads and appeared in the movie "Sweet Friggin' Daisies"
and a George Michael music video, was arrested Monday
and charged with two counts of grand theft by access
card, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said
Friday.
The complaint alleges Peele
charged furniture, a refrigerator, a washer and dryer, bedding and
other items for her home on credit cards that were in a wallet she
found in a supermarket. Investigators said she returned the wallet
to the owner, but first apparently copied the numbers on the charge
cards.
Peele, 30, was released and is scheduled for a
court appearance this coming week.
