Two people are in the Saline County Jail after using bogus credit cards at a Salina business and attempting to use one at another business early Tuesday morning.

Salina Police Captain Mike Sweeney tells The Salina Post that officers were called to Rod’s VIII, 2140 W. Crawford, after a man attempted to use several credit cards to make a purchase.

Store clerks said the man, later identified as 20-year-old Nicholas Rodish of Denver, came into the store at about 1 a.m. and attempted to use several credit cards to purchase $2,000 worth of Kansas lottery tickets and $451.57 worth of cigarettes. After several of the cards he attempted to use were declined, Rodish produced a card that was successful in making the purchase. He was also able to withdraw $500 from the card.

Rodish also cashed in $500 worth of winning lottery tickets from the purchase before leaving the store with a woman in a Dodge Dart and a U-Haul.

A short time later, police found Rodish and the woman, 48-year-old Jodee Wallace of Winnetka, California, at the Baymont Inn, 1740 W. Crawford.

Sweeney said Rodish was found inside the U-Haul and was in possession of a methamphetamine pipe. Wallace was inside the hotel, where she had paid cash for a room after first attempting to use a credit card that was declined.

During a search of the Dodge Dart, officers located and seized a credit card embossing machine used to make bogus credit cards.

Rodish was booked into jail on multiple requested charges of criminal use of a financial card, felony theft, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Wallace was booked on multiple requested charges of criminal use of a financial card, felony theft, and possession of stolen property.
