No One Spits in the Freedom Fries!

A 28-year-old waiter and resident of The Blairs was arrested Wednesday for allegedly stealing credit card numbers, says the Montgomery County police department.

Investigators with the five-O and the US Secret Service claim that Dickson Mgeta Mkama, of the 1400 block of Blair Mill Road, shopped on credit card numbers he lifted while waiting tables at The Daily Grill in Bethesda. The cops also say that Mkama's Tanzanian-issued travel visa had expired, and that he used the identity of some guy in Massachusetts to get his restaurant gig.

Mkama has been charged with identity theft and using a bogus ID to obtain goods and services. More charges may be pending. He is currently kickin' it at the county detention center on $25,000 bond.
