Police say Poole was given a debit card on a few occasions to pick up necessary supplies and that he allegedly used that card a total of 53 times without the couple’s permission to make purchases totaling $6,264.87.

Poole was arrested at 107 Lee Lane last night around 7:20 and was charged with unlawful access to a computer and two counts of exploitation.
