Bemidji<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me)<\/a> \u2014 A Walker woman faces charges after a lost bank card was allegedly used in Bemidji.<\/p>\n

Jordan Janine Johnson is charged in Beltrami County District Court. The complaint lists one gross misdemeanor and one misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

The charges include financial transaction card fraud and theft. Court records identify the case as 04-CR-26-1410.<\/p>\n

Wallet Reported Missing<\/h2>\n

Boston Smith contacted Bemidji police on May 31, 2026. He said his wallet disappeared two days earlier.<\/p>\n

Smith reported losing it near 1102 Minnesota Avenue Northwest. The wallet contained $128 and several payment cards.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, one card was used at Tobacco and Vapes. The reported purchase totaled $139.40.<\/p>\n

Smith later received a notice about a declined Walmart transaction. The attempted purchase totaled $61.82.<\/p>\n

Walmart Video Reviewed<\/h2>\n

Walmart asset protection provided checkout images and surveillance video. The footage reportedly showed a man and woman together.<\/p>\n

The complaint says the card was declined during checkout. The pair then allegedly left with merchandise without paying.<\/p>\n
