Jermaine Butler, 29, Markeem Ho-Sang, 25, and Roderick Norman, 25, all residents of Miami Gardens, Fla., were arrested Thursday, Feb. 25 and charged with multiple counts of credit card fraud and possessing devices to forge credit cards.
The release from Fairfax County Police said Butler was also charged with forging a public document, obstruction of justice and falsely identifying himself to officers.
Patrol officers in Franconia first identified the three men in the 6800 block of Springfield Boulevard around four o’clock in the afternoon. The units “observed suspicious activity,” the release said, that included seeing one of the men carry a backpack and put it in vehicle. One of the officers smelled marijuana emanating from the room where the man with the backpack left.
Police called a drug-sniffing dog to the scene.
Officers made contact with the three men at the vehicle, searched it based on the positive alert from the dog, and discovered the fraudulent credit cards, credit card-forging materials and a “small quantity of suspected marijuana,” the release said.
