A Sullivan County grand jury on Wednesday indicted 42-year-old Jeffrey S. Pedrick, on 42 counts of forgery, 42 counts of identity theft, four counts of credit card fraud, one count of theft over $1,000, and two counts of theft under $500.

Pedrick is accused of forgery at the Kingsport Press Credit Union, where Pedrick allegedly signed a check on March 9 for $400 without permission from either the signer or co-signer of the check, according to court documents. Court records also show that Pedrick allegedly sent forms to the post office to stop the mail of a Harlen McDavid, who had hired Pedrick, an employee of J & S Contracting & Landscaping, for the purpose of home repairs. Pedrick allegedly stole and used his McDavid’s AARP Visa card and Bank of America Mastercard.

On April 4, Pedrick allegedly admitted to McDavid’s wife during a phone conversation that he had both taken and used the cards, according to court records. Three days later, the cards were reportedly returned to the victim in an envelope stuck in the back door. A security video from Wal-Mart, West Stone Drive, reportedly shows a white male using the Mastercard for 4 separate purchases, who was identified by the McDavids as Pedrick.
