MASON CITY – A Mason City woman who was arrested and charged with credit card fraud in January pleaded guilty to the crime in April.
In the investigation into the case, Mason City police had released a surveillance photo on January 6th, 2013 of a woman who was wanted for questioning, what they called a “possible subject who may have information about a fraud case.” The victims were Mason City residents who live in Asbury.
Immediately after NIT posted the photo of the wanted subject on January 6th, an NIT reader recognized the subject as Julie Ann Melton of Mason City and wrote her name in a comment under the story, which police were monitoring.
Within hours of that comment being posted to NIT, Julie Ann Melton contacted NIT and said “My name is Julie Melton and I want my name removed from the comments on the Help Mason City Police locate a person of interest or I will be contacting my lawyer. Thank you.”
After initially pleading not guilty, Melton plead guilty to the crime of unauthorized use of a credit card, an aggravated misdemeanor, on April 12th, 2013.
Melton received a deferred judgement. A $625.00 fine was suspended and she received a year’s probation and was ordered to complete 40 hours of community service. Melton was also charged $225.00 in court costs. Months later, she still owes the courts $75.00 in the case.
Well the dumb bitch got what she deserved!

She should of used that credit card to purchase a gym membership.
All chicks need to do is look hot to get a man to pay for everything in life and then lock it down before they get wrinkles.
All a guy has to do is give half his stuff away periodically in his life.
Too bad perjury is only a crime in court!
It has to be under oath before it is perjury,
This is the type of woman who gets pregnant and craps out little felons.
