Detectives with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Palm Coast man Wednesday night on a felony warrant for theft after having arrested him last month in a separate case for grand theft.
Daniel Hunter, 43, of Rockinghorse Drive, was arrested on a warrant charging him with theft by taking possession of another person’s credit card, dealing in stolen property, fraudulent use of a credit card and possession of ammunition. He was booked into the Flagler County Inmate Facility and released after posting $3,750 bond on each charge.
Hunter was arrested March 18 on a charge of stealing from a person 65 years of age or older after he posed as a painter to get inside her home. Once inside the 83-year-old’s home, detectives said the man stole several pieces of jewelry while he was supposed to be painting the interior of the home.
In this latest arrest, detectives said Hunter found a bank card on the driveway at the home where he was staying on Lake Success Drive. He took the card and made purchases totaling $1,068 at several Palm Coast stores. The card belonged to the homeowner.
In one instance, he purchased a gold necklace and earrings from a T.J.Maxx store and then pawned the items in Palm Coast.
Hunter, who is a convicted felon, also purchased ammunition for a pistol he owned. He told detectives that he had since traded the pistol for a fishing pole and no longer possessed the firearm.
The owner of the card reported the fraudulent charges after her bank notified her of suspicious activity on the debit card. Detectives said Hunter was using the bank card as a credit card because he did not know the owner’s personal identification number.
Detectives believe there may be other victims. Hunter works as a painter and is believed to have stolen items from his customers while he was inside their home.
“It is very important that our residents do some checking on contractors before they hire them and give them access to their homes and property,” Flagler County Sheriff Jim Manfre said in a statement. “I encourage you to check with city offices or county offices to determine if the contractor is properly licensed.”
If you think you may have been victimized by Hunter, you are asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office’s Investigative Services Unit at 586-4801.
