Kroger Plus card links ex-mailman to stolen credit cards in Columbus, OH
Warning to would-be crooks: Don’t try to rack up Kroger fuel points when you’re
buying stuff with a stolen credit card. That’s what apparently led postal
investigators to former mail carrier Arlie O. Ruff of Bexley. Ruff, 67, was in
U.S. District Court yesterday on charges that he used credit cards from mail
stolen along his Galloway and Far West Side route between 2003 and 2009. He
pleaded not guilty and was released on his own recognizance. A 2009 search
warrant for Ruff’s home says that special agents tracked him down through his
Kroger Plus card. Ruff used the card when he bought nearly $7,000 in gas,
merchandise and gift cards with several credit cards that he had stolen from
customers along his mail route. Special Agent Scott Balfour, public information
officer for the Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General, did not provide
specifics of why it took five years to charge Ruff. (Source
