A woman accused of stealing debit and credit card numbers when she was a waitress has pleaded guilty to a fraud charge.
Elizabeth Lail-Caldare, 23, of Pensacola was sentenced to 11 months and 15 days in jail followed by 24 months of probation.
Lail-Caldare, arrested in May, was accused of using a skimmer to steal card numbers from people who dined at Famous Dave's barbecue restaurant on Bayou Boulevard in April.
Two other suspects were arrested in July.
Nigel Humphrey, 19, also known as Gaspar Bishop, is in Wakulla County Jail. Paul Adams, 46, also known as Trevor Hubbard, is in custody in Wayne County, Ohio.
Lail-Caldare told investigators that she met the men while working at Famous Dave's. She said she exchanged phone numbers with one of them and was asked to help in a credit card skimming operation, according to court records.
She told investigators that the men would bring her a skimmer before she went to work, and one of them would retrieve it after her shift ended. A skimmer is a device used to steal credit card numbers.
The Police Department suspects the men used the stolen card numbers to make fake credit and debit cards and buy American Express and Visa gift cards.
