On his last day booked into the county jail, a Summerville man filed a police report, saying that his bank card had been stolen by someone who he asked to do him a favor.

Jesse Wayne DeBerry of W Washington St. told a city  police officer that on October 10th, he had given another Summerville man permission to use Deberry’s bank card to put money on his account at the jail. The money never came through, however.

At DeBerry’s request, the officer checked the account’s online statements, where he found that three online purchases of $39 each ($117 total) had been debited to the account, and no deposits had been made.

The incident remains under investigation by the SPD.
