Using his credit card once in a while for Red Box movies is one thing. But 41 charges — mostly at gas stations — is going too far.
According to an affidavit filed through the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, an unidentified victim stated that his ex-girlfriend, hairstylist Donna Bellitto, had permission to use his Discover Card at Red Box. But she eventually forged his name and withdrew $300 in cash from his account.
Then she racked up 41 credit charges around town, from Dec. 28 to Jan. 19.
Bellitto, of 32 Farragut Drive, was arrested May 2 on two felony charges: utter forged instrument and grand theft.
The credit card swipes were for as little as $5.03 at a gas station, and for as much as $103 at an ATM. The total amount charged was $941.74, in addition to the $300 in a cashed check.
Bellitto was previously jailed and released in September for driving with a suspended license, resisting arrest without violence, possession of oxycodone and hydrocodone, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
