A Mooresville woman has been charged with identity theft and financial card fraud after a man reported his Wells Fargo debit card had been used to make 660 purchases totaling $50,000.

Stephanie Clark Johnson, 56, was charged with 25 counts of identity theft and one count of financial card fraud, the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday. She was jailed on $11,000 bail.
