MONROE COUNTY, Fla. – A Miami man found himself in handcuffs Thursday after authorities say he turned a company credit card into his personal piggy bank.
Michael Anthony Usatorres, 36, is accused of racking up nearly $10,000 in unauthorized charges while working for a local Key Largo business.
The investigation centers on Usatorres’ time as an employee at RIVA Motorsports & Marine of the Keys. According to investigators, Usatorres didn’t just use the company card for business expenses. Instead, they allege he swiped the card for approximately $9,349 worth of purchases for himself.
