Gas Sold for One-Tenth Cent

(Charleston, West Virginia) A 25-year-old local woman, Madeline Jordan, was arrested for defrauding her boss when she worked as a gas station clerk. She scammed nearly $50,000 by resetting the gas price to one-tenth of a cent and sold many gallons to her family and friends.

The gas station owner noticed that his receipts were on the light side so police were notified. A sting operation was then launched and Jordan was caught.

Apparently, the scam was a Sunday morning ritual for Jordan's mother, Mary Jordan, 58, of Charleston; her brother, John Jordan, 27, of Charleston; cousin Vonnie Oldham, 38, of Leon; Clifford Parker, 47, of Leon; and Glennis Fields, 39, of Dunbar. All were arrested and booked into custody at the South Central Regional Jail.
