CARROLL COUNTY, Miss.–A Tupelo man accused in several credit card fraud cases has been accused of charging a pallet of 40 bags of dog food, a charge the credit card company later said was fraudulent and reversed, leaving the store holding the bag.
Bandon Barron, 40, was booked late last week on a false pretense charge, said Carroll County Sheriff Clint Walker.
The investigation began when that pallet was purchased at a Carroll County farm store by phone Feb. 18. Several days later the credit card company, which at first approved the purchase of more than $1,500, notified the store of the fraud.
Walker said when deputies began to look into it they found that Barron and another individual had been in trouble in Leake County for a similar reason.
