From DoorDash to StockX: Kid’s $7K Shopping Spree Ends in Charges

Local Teen Racked Up 7K on Mom's Card

A Saratoga County minor is facing a felony charge after investigators say they went on a pricey shopping spree using their mother’s credit card.

According to the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office, the minor was arrested on Tuesday and charged with grand larceny in the third degree, a class E felony, following a complaint in the town of Charlton.

DoorDash, GOAT, Amazon, and Walmart

Authorities say the teen is accused of taking their mother’s credit card and racking up roughly $7,000 in unauthorized purchases between January 19th and January 21st.

Investigators report the charges included spending at DoorDash, GOAT, StockX, Amazon, and Walmart, which suggests this wasn’t exactly a “ramen noodles and gas money” situation.

This kid apparently has champagne taste on a Capri Sun budget.

Back in Our Day...

Back in the day, many of us wouldn’t have dared swipe a dollar from our parents’ wallet without fearing immediate grounding.  Seven thousand dollars? Some of our parents would’ve smacked that expensive taste right out of our mouths permanently.

While the situation is serious and now in the courts' hands, one thing is clear: if you’re going to go on a shopping spree, it’s probably best not to fund it with mom’s credit card.

Especially when the receipts total seven grand and mom has them!
