    6 Accused in Cheap-Gas Scheme

    14 hours ago
    SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A gas station clerk is accused of defrauding her boss out of nearly $50,000 by selling fuel to her family and friends for a tenth of a penny a gallon.
    Police arrested 25-year-old Madeline Jordan on Sunday — along with her mother, brother, a cousin and two others — after setting up a sting at the BP station in South Charleston.
    The station's owner told police last week he had noticed a significant drop in his income and found receipts that listed the deeply discounted rate.
    Police alleged that for several months Jordan, of Nitro, had reset the price at the pumps every Sunday morning and allowed people she knew to fill up.
    There was no immediate word if any of the six had secured attorneys to speak for them. The Kanawha County Courthouse was closed Monday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., and calls to the South Charleston Police Department were not answered.


    it had nothing to do with prius cars, but thats pretty good mileage

    It's amazing that people don't realize that there are always tracks left behind when you are working with computers. There's always a trail and you will always get caught.

    Seriously, who doesn't know that the store owner gets receipts of all the transactions? Who honestly thinks that the owner's not going to catch on to the fact that there's gasoline going out but less money coming in?

    Someone who's stupid enough to steal in the first place.
