Their investigation led authorities to a Chester County home on March 23, where they found several of the items bought with the stolen card numbers, the Chester County Sheriff’s Office said. Detectives wouldn’t say exactly how much was stolen but, in just one case, a report says he spend more than $500 at Walmart.

That same day, deputies found Johnson at his home and took him into custody. He was charged with four counts of transactional credit card fraud $500 or less in a six month period.

“We had a numerous amount of people contact us at the office letting us know they’d been involved in credit card fraud,” Chester County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Londa Pringle said.

“The common denominator in it all, from those numerous tips, was Arby’s,” she added.

Investigators said more charges are expected against Johnson and potentially others as well. They said their investigation revealed the drive-thru window was part of Johnson’s crime scene.

“He was taking pictures of people’s credit cards in the drive-thru of Arby’s,” Pringle said.

The sheriff’s office is asking everyone to review their credit card transactions since November 2022. If you find a fraudulent transaction on the card, and if the card was used at the Chester Arby’s (1622 J A Cochran Bypass), reach out to the Chester County Sheriff’s Office at 803-377-6117 or send an email to Fraud@chesterso.com.

“I would definitely suggest they check their bank statements if not weekly, but monthly, just to make sure no charges pop up that they didn’t authorize,” Pringle said.

Deputies are working to identify all the victims in this case, which will help them pursue the appropriate charges.
