On December 16, 2016 at approximately 2:12 p.m. Deputy M.R. Flick received a call from a caretaker of a woman who resides in a Stafford assisted living facility. The caretaker reported the woman who is in her care had an unauthorized use of her credit card within the last hour. She reported that the card had been used at the Red Roof Inn in Spotsylvania and to make other purchases online that totaled over $1200.00. Deputy Flick contacted the Red Roof Inn and determined that a male subject named Jacques Deas had used the card to secure several nights stay in the hotel. The desk clerk stated the male had just left with a female and had advised they would return later in the evening.
Deputy Flick contacted the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office and provided information about the incident. A Spotsylvania Deputy was assigned to the hotel to await Deas’ return. Later that evening Spotsylvania advised the suspect was in custody and would be taken to the Rappahannock Regional Jail where they would obtain warrants for frauds committed in their county. Stafford Deputy E.C.Taylor obtained eleven warrants for various frauds committed by Deas in Stafford County. Jacques Arnell Deas, age 36 of Forest Village Apartments in Fredericksburg was held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
