Local News, Local News Items #armuchee, #ArmucheeGA, #arrest, #arrestreport, #ATMFraud, #CardFraud, #CommunityNews, #crimereport, #FinancialCrime, #FinancialTransactionCardFraud, #FloydCounty, #floydcountyga, #georgianews, #LawEnforcement, #LocalCrime, #LocalNews, #NorthGeorgia, #northwestgeorgia, #PoliceInvestigation, #PublicSafety, #WhiteCollarCrime, #WZQZ, #wzqznews 0

An Armuchee man has been arrested on a felony warrant charging him with financial transaction card fraud.

According to the warrant, 45-year-old James Richard Guice is accused of authorizing another person to withdraw money from an ATM and then later reporting to the financial institution that the person did not have permission to make the withdrawal.

Investigators say the credit union credited $600 to Guice’s account based on that report, which the warrant alleges was false.

The case remains under investigation.
