Father with eyelid tattoos wanted for stealing bank cards with son, deputies say

VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA — One half of a father-son duo is still on the run after Volusia County deputies say they broke into a car and racked up over $5,000 using stolen bank cards.

Anthony  Medina, 19 and William Clark, 44, the one with the tattooed eyelids, are facing several charges including fraudulent use of person ID and fraudulent use of a credit card. Deputies say the two broke into a parked car at the DeBary Public Library on April 10 and made off with the victim’s bank cards and driver’s license.

When the owner realized what happened, he checked his card activity and discovered $5,361 in charges.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office sent this press release with details:

Det. Cameron Tucker started tracing those steps, traveling to a Chevron, a Racetrac, a Sunoco, a Walmart, AAA Gun & Pawn, Value Pawn & Jewelry, Cash America, and another Chevron. The purchases included cartons of cigarettes, a DVD player, a laptop and gold chain necklaces.

 One employee told Det. Tucker she remembered the transaction, and when the customer took off his sunglasses in the store, she noticed his eyelid tattoos.

 Det. Tucker dusted a glass case and mirror at one of the pawn shops for fingerprints, and he obtained video from all the stores on the suspects’ shopping list. After compiling footage of the suspect vehicle and the list of all the stores they visited to make purchases that day, Det. Tucker contacted the Volusia County Crime Center for a search of the License Plate Reader system. Analysts at the Crime Center identified a 2004 Cadillac with Florida tag 614-8UR that had a unique sticker and antenna matching the suspect vehicle’s.

Medina was arrested on Monday and was released on $10,000 bail. Clark is still at large.
