CRANBERRY TWP — A Michigan man faces numerous felony charges after allegedly making fraudulent purchases at local stores and fleeing police.

Police say John C. Davenport, 32, of Detroit and a female accomplice purchased more than $1,700 worth of merchandise from H.H. Gregg in August using a stolen credit card.

The items included Apple iPads, security cameras and a large flat-screen TV.

Davenport and the unknown woman fled the area in Davenport’s vehicle and led police on a three-mile chase at a “high rate” of speed, according to police reports.

Sgt. Chuck Mascellino said a police vehicle was involved in a crash with another vehicle at the intersection between Franklin Road and Route 228.

Davenport and the woman eluded police and abandoned their vehicle in Adams Township, police said. They proceeded to flee on foot.

Mascellino said Davenport also used stolen credit card numbers and fraudulent cards to make fraudulent purchases at Best Buy stores in Cranberry Township and West Mifflin, an H.H. Gregg store in West Mifflin, a Dick’s Sporting Goods in West Mifflin and a Finish Line in West Mifflin.

The total value of the stolen merchandise was more than $8,150.

Davenport was arrested earlier this month in Detroit after visiting his probation officer, Mascellino said. Police used video surveillance footage to identify him in connection with the alleged crimes.

“We had a warrant for him, he went to his probation hearing and they took him into custody for us,” Mascellino said.

Davenport is currently in Butler County Prison, where he is being held on $100,000 bail.

Davenport faces 11 felony charges, including four counts of identity theft, four counts of unauthorized access of credit cards, one count of theft, one count of receiving stolen property and one count of fleeing officers.

He also faces lesser charges of reckless driving and driving without a license.

Davenport waived his charges last week to county court, where he will be arraigned on Feb. 28.

Mascellino said the female accomplice has not been caught as of Monday. “She may have been identified, but we’re not ready to release that yet,” he said.

Mascellino said such cases are “becoming more common, unfortunately.” “They compromised card numbers and created their own credit cards,” he said. “It’s up to the stores to know that these cards may not be official and verify if all the information is correct on them.”
