Michigan And Texas ID’s Discovered On Florida Couple Charged With Identity Theft - A terrific example of how we partner with our community and work closely with local hotel and motel staff to deter criminal activity

Detectives and employees of the Hampton Inn by Hilton, 2630 Northbrooke Plaza Drive, were already familiar with Banser and Russette. The pair stayed at the hotel in late October and racked up nearly $1,000 in charges with a stolen debit card. The transactions were captured on hotel security video. Employees recognized the pair when they returned Monday and attempted to make a reservation using another fraudulent ID and multiple credit cards, which were declined, and contacted CCSO. Further investigation by detectives found the Michigan and Texas IDs Banser and Russette provided were fake, as was the ID Russette used to rent the truck they traveled in.
