ROUND ROCK, TX — A former teen worker at a Round Rock Gatti's pizza establishment is accused of stealing a customer's credit card data to buy pies herself and trips on a ride-sharing service, according to a published report.

Jasmine Washington, 18, has been charged with credit card abuse, which is a state jail felony punishable by up to two years in jail. Although the incident occurred in September 2016, the case was just filed on Wednesday, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

The criminal enterprise began to unravel after a man called the Williamson County Sheriff's Office last year after noticing more than $400 in fraudulent charges on his credit card bill, according to an arrest affidavit referenced by the newspaper.

Moreover, several of the Ride Austin charges paid for trips to and from Washington's duplex, according to the affidavit.
