Seven fake
credit cards were found in the pockets of Dammy Krane on June 1 when he was
arrested at Opa-locka Executive Airport in Miami Dade, Florida.
A New Miami
Times report said the police have charged him on nine counts of credit card
forgery and grand theft at the Miami Dade’s criminal court.
Trouble
started for the singer, whose real name is Oyindamola Emmanuel, after he was
arrested for using a suspicious card to book a private jet flight to
Washington, D.C.
According to
police reports, details of which was published in Miami New Times, when the police
searched him they found seven false credit cards in his wallet, Punch reported .
Agents from
the mobile-phone booking app TapJets alerted the police, when they discovered
that the first card Dammy Krane tendered was bogus. The jet company told
Miami-Dade Police that Krane and a partner, Chukwuebuka Ilochonwu, had booked a
$10,943 trip on a jet from Opa-locka to Washington, D.C.
Krane lists
a permanent U.S. address in Baltimore on the police report, according to the
report by Miami New Times.
Two police
officers waited at the jet runway until Krane and Ilochonwu showed up.
Police searched
the pair and found seven cards in Krane’s pants pocket. When authorities
checked the cards later, all seven had numbers on the face that didn’t match
the numbers on the security strip on the back.
Police said
the 23-year-old singer used one of those cards to book his flight and then gave
TapJet two other fake cards when he was asked for backup cards for the travel.
His
co-defendant, Ilochonwu, police soon learned, was out on bond on four other
credit card fraud charges.
He’d been
arrested in April on felony charges stemming from a case in Miami Beach.
Dammy Krane
who is now out on bail has tried to exculpate himself from the arrest mess,
blaming “agents” and assuring fans he’s innocent.
