A Louisiana woman was arrested after deputies said a victim’s bank card information was used for more than a year at multiple fast-food locations, leaving behind more than $2,600 in alleged unauthorized charges.
KQKI reported that 26-year-old Nyeisha Marie Davis, of St. James, was arrested after an investigation by the Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Leland Falcon said Davis was booked on identity theft and bank fraud charges.
The case began on January 23, 2026, when a victim told deputies that her debit card information had been used without her knowledge or permission. Authorities said the transactions happened at multiple fast-food restaurants over a one-year period.
The sheriff’s office said the alleged unauthorized charges had grown to more than $2,600 by the time the report was filed.
Detectives Traced The Transactions To Fast-Food Locations
According to the Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office, detectives reviewed a series of transactions tied to the victim’s financial account.
Investigators then contacted loss prevention and risk management personnel for the fast-food chain involved in the case. The sheriff’s office said that cooperation helped detectives obtain electronic surveillance video.
Authorities said the video evidence led investigators to identify Davis as a suspect. Detectives later secured arrest warrants for her.
She Was Arrested In St. James Parish
Davis was arrested Friday evening in St. James Parish and released to the custody of the Assumption Parish Sheriff’s Office, according to authorities.
WBRZ also reported that Davis was booked into the Assumption Parish Detention Center on identity theft and bank fraud charges. The sheriff’s office said she remained incarcerated with bond set at $60,000.
The accusations against Davis have not been proven in court.
Small Card Charges Can Keep Going If They Are Missed
Fast-food charges may look small compared with wire fraud, courier scams, or fake-investment schemes. In this case, deputies said repeated transactions over a year added up to more than $2,600 before the investigation led to an arrest.
The Federal Trade Commission advises consumers who spot a fraudulent credit or debit card charge to contact the company or bank that issued the card, tell them the charge was fraudulent, and ask for the transaction to be reversed.
The FTC also tells identity theft victims to use IdentityTheft.gov for a recovery plan. Anyone who sees unfamiliar debit-card purchases, even small restaurant or convenience-store charges, should contact the bank quickly, request a replacement card, change compromised passwords, and file a police report if the bank or local authorities need one.
