Description

A former KTSU Radio volunteer is behind bars on accusations he stole personal information from hundreds of donors. Prosecutors believe Michale Whitfield, 32, stole credit card information from the pledge sheets of KTSU listeners and then used that information to buy electronics and gift cards. Assistant Harris County District Attorney Donna Logan said Whitfield would sometimes buy products and resell them for cash. Investigators said they have more than 20 confirmed cases. They believe there could be up to 300 potential victims.
