A Trion man who says he stayed at the Carousel Inn, in Trion, in July says someone got access to his SSI debit card and used it throughout the month of July. Paul Elrod, of a Marsh Avenue, Trion address, told Chattooga County Sheriff's deputies that he activated his card while at the motel and asked a visitor to his room to get his social security card for him so he could give the last four digits over the phone and get a PIN number. He said there was only that person and one other in the room at the time. Which means both of those people would have known his PIN number. The report indicates that $9,300 was debited from the card. The incident was turned over to investigators.
