A 39-year-old South Lake Tahoe woman who was recorded withdrawing $700 from an automatic teller machine with a stolen card is to appear Aug. 31 in District Court on two charges of fraudulent use of a debit card.
Diana Drinkard waived her preliminary hearing Wednesday in East Fork Justice Court. She is to appear before District Judge Michael Gibbons.
According to reports, on April 26, the victim left her ATM card in the Minden Bank of America machine after a withdrawal and drove away. Drinkard allegedly drove up after her and used the card four times to withdraw $700 before it was declined for a fifth try.
She was recorded making the withdrawals as her two young sons watched.
Drinkard reportedly purchased $43 of gasoline at Cowboy Corners with the card the same day.
Drinkard told deputies she tried to use the card two days later at Walmart but it was declined, and she threw it away.
She turned herself in after a friend recognized her picture in a Secret Witness story in the newspaper, offering up to $1,000 for her conviction.
