Godfrey man gets two years in credit card fraud case
January 13, 2009 - 2:20 PM
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- A former government purchasing agent is sentenced to two years in prison for ringing up thousands of dollars of fraudulent charges on a government-issued credit card.
Steven Brown of Godfrey also was ordered Tuesday to repay $261,392. He pleaded guilty in federal court in October to one felony count of theft of public money.
Court records indicate that Brown met a then-exotic dancer, Teressa Shrum of Hannibal, in 2004, while he worked for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in Arnold. U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway says they came up with a plan to run bogus transactions through her credit card processing business.

I see tales of men, who marry, then get financially screwed over. A relevant example was that financier from Indiana who lived the American dream-till he got in trouble, then tried to fake his death with a plane crash. He had a smoking hot wife who bailed on him when it appeared the gravy train was over. Waddya wanna bet she finds another sugar daddy?
It's sad that humans take each other this way. Boys should be properly taught that there are some truly hideous women out there and you should proceed carefully.
I learned my lesson. Now I let strippers THINK they're stringing me along ...
Still wasted 10 of my seconds, though.
