Police reports said a 19-year-old student reported her credit card missing March 29. She believed it was stolen several days earlier. Investigators then obtained information from the credit card company, showing it had been used several times after the victim had noticed it missing.
Police reviewed a March 27 videotape from Wal-Mart Supercenter, which showed a woman, who later was identified as Alexa Ray Strouth, 18, of West St. Paul, buying merchandise totaling $234.
Police also watched a March 27 video from Pizza Hut, which showed a man buying food there with the credit card. The man was later identified as James Read Gleason, 19, of Northfield, Minn.
Police cited Strouth for credit card fraud and possession of stolen property. Gleason was cited for credit card fraud.

Hopefully Alexa and Read (James) were punished to the fullest extent. Both have previous histories of thef. Alexa also falsely accused a classmate of rape during her Freshman year at Saint Mary's University in Winona, MN. Read had serious issues with pot.
Both need to learn their lesson and become mature individuals. So far they have contributed very little to society.
Shame on them both. "
