Nashville man pleads guilty in identity theft case

A Nashville man has pleaded guilty to identity theft and theft of property in a credit card skimming scheme.

Twenty-one-year-old William Hundley will be sentenced December 17th.

According to the charges, he went online to order credit card skimmers, which electronically captured personal debit and credit card information from restaurant customers as they paid their bills. He enlisted workers at the restaurants to do the actual skimming, officers said.

The stolen information was encoded on gift cards used at area stores to buy clothing and expensive electronic items.
