An Iowa City man has charged with allegedly stealing a wallet and using a stolen credit card for numerous purchases.

Donald Marshall, 51, 1100 Arthur St. No. A4, was charged May 1 with third-degree theft and two charges of unauthorized use of a credit card. On April 19, Marshall was charged with four charges of unlawful use of a credit card.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, Marshall went inside Hy-Vee, 812 S. First Ave., and approached a person in the frozen food aisle. Marshall reportedly proceeded to bump into the woman numerous times and allegedly stole her wallet out of her purse.

The value of the wallet and contents is estimated at $100, the complaint said.

When Marshall used the credit card from the wallet at a Suburban BP, he allegedly made one change for $21.90, and another charge shortly after for $10.25.
