A former Northfield (Minn.) Golf Club employee has been charged with fraud after police say he used the club’s credit card to rack up more than $18,000 to pay for a gambling problem, the Northfield News reported.
Jason Roger Rasche, 42, was charged in Rice County District Court with two charges of felony credit card fraud, the News reported.
According to the criminal complaint, Northfield Golf Club officials reported to police that from January 2013 to October 2013, Rasche, who was an employee of the club, had been using the club’s credit card to make purchases that were not for the golf club. The charges ranged from $200 to more than $3,000 each month, the News reported.
When confronted by golf club staff in October, Rasche admitted to using the card for personal purchases and entered into a deal with staff to pay back the golf club in full, according to the complaint.
When by November 13 the club still had not received any money from Rasche, the club’s manager and board president went to police. When Northfield police questioned Rasche on November 27, he admitted to using the credit card for purchases because he had a gambling problem, according to the complaint.
If convicted of the most serious charge, Rasche faces a possible maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and/or a $20,000 fine, the News reported.
