TYLER (August 10, 2011)—Christopher Michael, 26, of Malkoff, gas been sentenced to four years in prison in a case involving the theft of credit card numbers from a restaurant and the Internet.
The U.S. attorney's office says Michael pleaded guilty in May to access device fraud.
Michael, who was sentenced Tuesday in Tyler, also must pay nearly $95,000 in restitution.
Law enforcement officers raided Michael's home in August 2010 and seized counterfeit charge card making equipment and hundreds of fake cards.
Prosecutors say three other people, including an employee at a Chicken Express in Tyler where customer credit card numbers were stolen, have pleaded guilty and await sentencing.
