BUNNELL, Fla. — A second suspect in an alleged fraud scheme at a Palm Coast Popeyes has been arrested following a seven-month investigation, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.
Shaunta Johnson, 42, was taken into custody Wednesday by Flagler detectives on charges related to an organized scheme to defraud customers, a sheriff’s office news release states.
Johnson is accused of charging customers’ credit cards while working in the restaurant’s drive-thru, the news release states. She allegedly orchestrated the scheme to make commissary payments to her boyfriend, an inmate at Apalachee Correctional Institution.
Johnson remain in jail Friday morning on no bond.
Chaniqua Richberg, 48, was accused of similar charges in April. Detectives said on March 20 a victim reported witnessing Richberg tapping her credit card twice: once for her drive-thru order then again to a cell phone, the news release states. Later that day, the victim found an unauthorized charge of $311.90 on her account and reported it to law enforcement, the news release states.
During their investigation, detectives determined the fraudulent transaction was for a commissary payment to an inmate at Apalachee Correctional Institution.
Richberg was released on $7,500 bond.
“Our detectives worked diligently to identify and arrest those responsible for defrauding unsuspecting Popeyes customers,” Sheriff Rick Staly, stated in the news release.
Several years ago I was buying tickets to fly to Canada and the ticket clerk used my credit card to enter a fraudulent charge. My credit card company caught it immediately and I reported the clerk to Air Canada but was they wouldn’t take any action.
Yes, same ethnicity.
In Illinois they become law enforcement officers and get a gun, a paycheck and a pension.
We don’t eat at Popeyes or KFC anymore because it’s STUPID expensive.
we just settle for Publix or Winn Dixie and prep our own sides.
All our Winn-Dixies closed, now Aldi’s.............
Before CoVid, our KFC was a nice place to eat, and not too expensive. Then a new owner took over and it’s been downhill ever since.................
Split down the middle over here....many Winn Dixies will stay......one weird thing, the closest Winn Dixie to me was less than 2 years old.....Aldi shut it down and is in process of completely gutting it and remodeling into an Aldi......a practically brand new grocery store....why do that? 🤷

Every Aldi’s we have are exactly alike inside. They have a certain floorplan that every store must follow.
They did the same here with the Winn Dixies we had.............

I worked at a school once where there was a student named Latrina. I once wondered if someone had thought of naming a kid Dequad and when I searched the internet I found that yes someone had named his son DeQuad
We get one here too. I’d rather have a Trader Joe’s.
Breaks my heart about Beach Road Chicken Dinners.
No need to wake up Yogi.
Palm coast is as far south in Florida as I’d go. We live north of there but like it.
We’ve got a couple of Trader Joe’s here.....going in that place never disappoints.....it can be a real freakshow......and that’s just the employees.

We do like shopping there though.....they have items you can’t find anywhere else and the seasonal stuff is great.
