Woman's Fraudulent Shopping Spree With Fake ID Ends in Arrest: Police

A woman is facing felony charges when she tried to purchase clothing at an Orland Square store using another person’s ID and temporary credit card, prosecutors said in bond court on Wednesday.

According to the charges, Elyse Harper, 22, was seen selecting clothing at Buckle, 524 Orland Square Drive, Orland Park, around 6:30 p.m. Sept. 14. The store manager became suspicious when she presented an ID with her picture but another person’s information, which didn’t look right.

Prosecutors said that Harper also tried to pay with a temporary credit card and had several other temporary credit cards in the other person’s name.

The other person was contacted and police said that Harper did not have permission to use her ID or credit cards.

The assistant public defender told the judge that Harper works part-time at McDonald’s and has a young child. She also a student at Harold Washington College.

Prosecutors said that Harper was placed on probation for theft on a separate incident earlier this month.

Harper was placed on a $10,000 I-bond.
