I spoke to Ewell in reference to the situation and asked him if he’s been using REDACTED credit card to make purchases in which Ewell advised he has. I read Ewell Miranda rights and advised him I was currently investigating him due to using a credit card without REDACTED permission. Ewell was aware of the situation and stated that he has been using REDACTED credit card ending in REDACTED to make purchases without her consent at multiple locations. Ewell advised me he was using her card without her permission and against her will. Ewell advised the reason why he does this, is due to the fact that she will not let him use the card to buy the stuff he wants so he takes the credit card without unauthorized permission.
