A Michigan dentist visiting Florida where his son was playing in a Winter Haven baseball tournament is facing several charges after allegedly using a stolen credit card to buy pizza. The 54-year-old man is facing charges of credit card theft, forgery, impersonating, and attempting to use the ID of another person without consent.

According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the alleged victim dropped his credit card in the parking lot of a Publix in Davenport on Saturday night. When he noticed it he called his credit card company to cancel the card. As he was on the phone with the company, he was told someone used the card to make a purchase at Mia Pizza Pasta Kitchen. He then immediately called the police.

Polk County deputies then found the dentist waiting for his order at the pizza parlor. He allegedly admitted finding the credit card and ordering two large pizzas with it. It was noted that the dentist had $250 in cash in his wallet at the time of his arrest. When asked if he was having financial difficulties, the dentist allegedly laughed and said, "absolutely not."

Florida is a destination for all kinds of tourists. Unfortunately, even those of means will occasionally get into serious trouble. Although this man allegedly told the law enforcement officers that his net worth was in the millions of dollars, he is still facing serious charges that may put him in prison.
