They say the wallet contained insurance cards and a driver\u2019s license belonging to the victim.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities say Kitrell went to a nearby Home Depot next, where he used a Chase Bank card belonging to the same victim to purchase three $200 gift cards.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving that store, police pulled Kitrell over. They say his Kentucky driver\u2019s license status showed up as \u201crevoked\u201d and that his vehicle didn\u2019t have a license plate on it.<\/p>\n<p>Police say they found the vehicle\u2019s license plate inside the trunk. They say they also found $1,000 worth of gift cards inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Kitrell was arrested and booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail. He is charged with fraud and several driving-related offenses.<br \/>\nSource: WBKO<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Louisville man was arrested in Evansville, Indiana on Saturday after police say he fraudulently used a victim\u2019s credit cards to purchase multiple gift cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":57881,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[51,59],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-main-news","category-news","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6aKAp-f3y","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":true,"date":"2026-09-10 20:43:40","action":"category","newStatus":"draft","terms":[69],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Christopher-Kitrell.avif","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57880"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57880\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57882,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57880\/revisions\/57882"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
