Woman racks up over $500 in food delivery charges on stolen card while in hospital

Hospital food. It often gets a bad rap. One woman thought she found a way to avoid it, but that plan eventually landed her in jail.

Ashley Lee, 31, of Plain Dealing, was arrested for making unauthorized charges to another person’s credit card to pay for food orders she placed while at two local hospitals. Lee is accused of charging $562 to DoorDash, Waitr, and Grubhub. It is believed she obtained the credit card information from a patient without their knowledge.

Caddo Sheriff’s Det. Jeremy Edward investigated the case involving Lee and obtained a warrant for her arrest. On February 7, Lee turned herself in at the Caddo Correctional Center and was booked on one count of identity theft.
