VILONIA — Chief Brad McNew of the Vilonia Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a burglary suspect who was caught on a video surveillance camera in a Conway Walmart carrying a victim’s purse and using her credit card.
"We don’t know her and neither did the owner of the home that was burglarized," McNew said. "But, the homeowner recognized her purse and jewelry that the woman was wearing as belonging to her when she saw her (on the Wal-Mart surveillance camera) using her credit card."
The homeowner’s card was also used at Target by the same suspect, McNew added. The burglary occurred during the day on Saturday, Sept. 1, on Kimberly Drive in Vilonia, McNew said, while the homeowner was out of the house at a sporting event.
The suspect’s car, police said, was also caught on camera and is a "small station wagon-type," maybe a small Ford Escort, police said.
Anyone with information should call the police department at 501-796-2534.

Making her show ID would have prevented the fraudulent charge.
That's exactly why I don't mind showing ID.
Wal-Mart could have caught her in the act.
Target too.
Right. I don't understand
Right. I don't understand why (legitimate) people get in such a huff when asked for ID in the checkout line. If it's such an issue to get it out of your wallet or wherever it's kept then make it more easily accessible. Not saying just keep it in your back pocket by itself, but it is quite easy to find wallets with a clear holder so you can show your ID without needing to remove it.
yes
And it takes no longer to check ID on a card transaction than it does to write a check or pay cash and get change back.
Require people to show ID?!?!?!?!?
More proof that CONway is full of racists!!

So
Showing ID to use a credit card is the same as showing ID to vote???
There's no doubt about it....
...this is Mark Vaught's fault!!

absolutely
And if you don't like it, call your county judge at 450-4900.
True
But keep in mind not to say anything about roads. That's a sore subject.
Violation of Credit Card Agreement
Asking for ID is actually a violation of a lot(not all but a significant number) of credit card processing agreements that merchants have with the processors and Visa and Mastercard. I've never understood why but it is the fact. I've had to tell employees they weren't allowed to ask for ID with credit cards because of this. All I can figure is the processors want as many transactions as possible so they don't want merchants to inconvenience consumers.
not really
It's just that a merchant cannot refuse a transaction if a person does not produce ID.
