Theft: George Palliden Lewis, 44, of 362 Ullery Road, Carmichaels, was charged by the state Attorney General’s office with access device fraud and two counts of theft for an incident that happened between April and May last year. Investigators said Lewis, who was fired from SecTek Security in February 2016, allegedly used the company’s gas card several times in April and May, after he was fired. Investigators said he used it 14 times in Waynesburg, Carmichaels and Donegal that totaled $424 in charges. Lewis told investigators his supervisor gave him permission to use the card as restitution for lost wages and for using his personal vehicle for company work, but the supervisor denied ever giving Lewis permission.
