PHOENIX — A federal grand jury in Phoenix has indicted a Chandler man for wire fraud, credit card fraud, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.

Stephen Colter Dustin alleges that during September and October 2010, he used credit cards belonging to others to submit more than $275,000 of fraudulent charges from a Scottsdale pizzeria that he operated.

A 25-count indictment against 32-year-old Stephen Colter Dustin alleges that during September and October 2010, he used credit cards belonging to others to submit more than $275,000 of fraudulent charges from a Scottsdale pizzeria that he operated.

In an attempt to make the charges appear legitimate, Dustin allegedly submitted fake invoices to the credit card companies suggesting that Jac's Pizzeria had provided catering services at several large events. The indictment further alleges that Dustin obtained approximately $75,000 from the scheme before the credit card companies closed their accounts with Jac's.

Dustin was arrested Thursday and released pending trial. It's unclear whether he has legal representation yet. End repost.
