A Wendy’s employee in Destin, Florida, was caught snapping photos of customers’ credit cards to fuel a lucrative identity theft scheme. Marcus Bernard Clark, 31, of Fort Walton Beach, worked at the fast food joint in September and October 2022, where he snapped over 200 photos of card numbers and names.
The scheme was only discovered after Clark’s phone was seized as part of another case, revealing the extent of his crimes. Investigators linked the photos to the Wendy’s location, where Clark had access to customers’ sensitive information.
Clark’s arrest marks a victory for the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, who worked with federal prosecutors to bring him to justice. He now faces up to 12 years in prison for his crimes.
Assistant US Attorney Jessica S. Etherton will push for maximum penalties at Clark’s sentencing on July 16, 2026.
