A Paso Robles teen attending Boise State University is charged with grand theft after he allegedly stole another student’s credit card and then went on a shopping spree.

After discovering someone had stolen their credit card and spent over $1,300 at local businesses, the victim contacted the university police department. The Boise Police Department worked with the local businesses to identify the thief.

Evidence led officers to determine Joshua Cantrell of Paso Robles stole the victim’s wallet and made purchases at 10 stores on Sept. 11.

Officers arrested Cantrell and booked him in the Ada County Jail on charges of grand theft, possession of a fraudulently obtained credit card, intent to defraud and burglary.

The news media in Idaho reported it as “California man charged with…” I guess they think it’s time to grow up at nineteen, He will now the hard way.

A result of growing up without being held responsible for youre actions.

Sadly, it was likely a “pay back” for some perceived slight or grudge…..and now an off ramp for the road of personal downfall. Probably seemed funny at the time…..not so much upon reflection from the gray-bar hotel.

Where on earth are you getting this from? Just wildly speculative conjecture? Dumb kid used a credit card for $1,300. If he has no prior record, he is unlikely to end up in jail. This is probably a wake-up call rather than the first step toward a wasted life. Where did you come up with this insane theory?

Stay in california if your going to steal folks. Other states actually enforce theft laws. This guy figured it out the hard way lol.

Most of us just want criminals to be held accountable here in CA. Its common sense, probably something you lack in.


CA is the best state in the union and its getting ruined day by day by horrible, clearly failing libtard policies!!!!
