Beverly Peele Arrested on ID Theft Charges
Fashion model Beverly Peele was arrested on identity theft charges for allegedly buying around $10,000 worth of housewares, appliances and furniture by using credit card numbers without permission, authorities said Friday.
Peele, who has been featured in magazine ads and appeared in the movie “Sweet Friggin’ Daisies” and a George Michael music video, was arrested Monday and charged with two counts of grand theft by access card, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The complaint filed against the 30-year-old alleges she charged furniture, a refrigerator, a washer and dryer, bedding and other items for her home on credit cards that were in a wallet she had found in a supermarket.
Investigators said Peele returned the wallet to the owner but not before apparently taking down the numbers on the charge cards.
Peele is also accused of having made unauthorized charges on a credit card belonging to a Coto De Caza man who used his credit card at modeling agency where Peele was employed, sheriff’s officials said.
Peele was released from custody following her arrest earlier in the week, authorities said. She is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
