ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – A St. Louis County woman is accused of making tens of thousands of dollars in personal purchases using her former employer’s credit card.
According to the Chesterfield Police Department’s probable cause statement, Jessica Branham (age not provided) worked at a cement manufacturer and was assigned a company credit card.
Police claim that between Aug. 11, 2022, and Feb. 5, 2023, Branham made in excess of $65,000 in personal purchases with that card.
On Feb. 5, 2023, the company vice president allegedly confronted Branham about the purchases. Branham claimed she’d mistakenly used the card on the purchases and sent a resignation email to the company that evening.
The St. Louis County Circuit Attorney’s Office charged Branham with stealing $25,000 or more. She’s due in court on March 13.
