JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Police arrested 37-year-old Marlon Henry-Nichols at his home in Johns Creek Feb. 15 following an investigation into credit card theft.
In November, Alpharetta police received complaints from a woman whose credit cards were stolen from the mail and used at various stores around Metro Atlanta. More than $3,500 had been charged to her credit cards, according to the arrest warrant.
After detectives with the Alpharetta Police Criminal Investigation Division investigated the complaints and determined Henry-Nichols was the offender, they were granted a warrant to search the suspect’s home with assistance from Johns Creek police.Â
Alpharetta Detective Capt. Andrew Splawn said detectives recovered multiple credit/debit cards and Social Security cards that were not in Henry-Nichols’ name as well as three firearms.
Splawn said detectives charged Henry-Nichols with financial transaction card fraud, identity fraud and theft by receiving stolen property and arrested him at his home. Johns Creek police also charged him with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Splawn said the case is still under investigation and detectives are working to locate other victims identified during the search warrant execution.
