A Cedar Rapids man has been arrested in connection with the theft of a purse and subsequent use of stolen credit cards from a patient at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry.
57-year-old Dwayne Lowe of Agin Court NE was booked into the Johnson County Jail at 12:15 Friday morning. University of Iowa Police say Lowe and an accomplice, identified as Tonya Sue Jergensen, used numerous stolen credit cards at the South Gilbert Street Kum & Go on the morning of July 1st.
Security video from the dental college allegedly shows Lowe and Jergenson leaving the building about an hour before the Kum & Go purchases. A patient at the clinic reported her purse had been stolen while she was at an appointment there. Her credit cards were the ones used at Kum & Go.
Lowe is now charged with 4th Degree Theft and Unauthorized Use of a Credit Card. If convicted on both charges, he faces a maximum of three years in jail.
Jergensen was charged with 3rd Degree Theft and Unauthorized Use of a Credit Card last July. Her next court appearance is set for Monday.
