Area woman gets probation for fraud :: Naperville Sun :: News

WHEATON — A woman who ran up hundreds of dollars in charges with a credit card number stolen from an I-Pass account has been sentenced to two years of probation.

Twenty-year-old Jasmine Reed, who was a customer service representative at the Illinois Tollway call center in Lisle, pleaded guilty to fraudulently using the number. DuPage Judge Perry Thompson also ordered Reed to pay $400 in restitution.

Authorities were led to the woman after a tollway customer tipped them off.

According to court documents, Illinois State Police, the toll authority’s inspector general and the DuPage County state’s attorney’s office launched an investigation.

Reed, an employee of Harrisburg, Pa.-based TransCore, was arrested in June and fired in July.
