Company Credit Card, Amazon Orders And McDonald’s Runs: Former Employee Charged

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. — A Prince Frederick woman is facing theft and identity fraud charges after her former employer alleged she used a company credit card to make hundreds of dollars in unauthorized Amazon and McDonald’s purchases over several weeks, according to court documents.

Kristeena Dawn Sheets, 41, of Prince Frederick, was charged in the District Court for Calvert County with theft of property valued between $100 and under $1,500 and identity fraud involving property valued between $100 and under $1,500.

The charges were filed July 22, 2026, through a Statement of Charges (SOC) application.

According to the application for statement of charges, a Calvert County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded at approximately 11:53 a.m. June 23, 2026, to an address on Prince Frederick Boulevard for a report of theft.

The complainant told investigators she hired Sheets as an assistant on May 30, 2026, to help make payments and purchase items for the business.

According to court documents, the employer provided Sheets with a company credit card to make authorized purchases and also paid her $300 when she began working.

Investigators alleged that on June 8, the employer was notified by Amazon that the credit card had been used for multiple purchases she did not authorize.

The employer immediately canceled the credit card and contacted Sheets by telephone. According to the charging documents, Sheets denied making any unauthorized purchases.

According to court documents, deputies reported the employer later reviewed the account and determined there had been 12 unauthorized transactions using the card at Amazon and McDonald’s totaling $446.78.

A deputy later interviewed Sheets regarding the allegations.

According to court documents, Sheets admitted she accidentally used the employer’s credit card to pay for an Amazon purchase after forgetting to switch accounts following an approved purchase she had made for the business. She told investigators it was a mistake, claimed she had used the card for only about $130, and said she would repay the money, explaining she needed about two weeks to obtain the funds.

Investigators noted, however, that while Sheets acknowledged owing money related to the Amazon purchases, she allegedly did not explain the transactions attributed to McDonald’s.

On July 21, Deputy Currie contacted the employer again to determine whether restitution had been made.

According to the statement of probable cause, the employer alleged that Sheets had not repaid any of the money and had not responded to further attempts at contact. The deputy also noted that approximately four weeks had passed since the initial report was filed.

Based on the investigation, according to court documents, deputies sought criminal charges alleging Sheets knowingly used another person’s credit card to obtain goods without authorization and fraudulently assumed another person’s identity to obtain goods valued between $100 and $1,500.

Court records show Sheets is scheduled for a preliminary inquiry on Sept. 14, 2026, in Calvert County District Court.
