A Belleview woman is accused of racking up hundreds of dollars in unauthorized purchases using a construction company’s credit card — including utility payments to her own address, investigators say.
According to an arrest affidavit, 28-year-old Melissa Sue Harmon allegedly used the Boring Construction company card to make several online transactions between September 1 and 21, totaling over $1,400. Among them were multiple Sam’s Club orders for curbside pickup in Lady Lake and a $235 payment to the City of Belleview Utilities Department.
Deputies say Harmon, who operates a mobile massage business, had performed massage services for the business owner, who later discovered the fraudulent charges despite still having the card in his possession.
The investigation led detectives to Harmon’s Belleview apartment, where they learned the utilities account tied to the payment matched her address. Records also revealed she had used a family member’s name on the lease — and even her grandmother’s Sam’s Club membership — to complete the transactions.
Harmon was arrested on charges of fraudulent use of a credit card and fraudulent use of personal identification information, both felonies. She was booked into the Marion County Jail with bond set at $5,000.
