Following a motion from the prosecution, felony charges for fraudulent use of a bank card, possession of a stolen bank card and a persistent violator enhancement were all dismissed at a Feb. 14 hearing, according to court documents.

Seven additional felony charges for fraudulent use of a bank card were also dismissed at a previous hearing on Jan. 20.

Turnbull was arrested in January after his employer discovered that a credit card missing from his office had been used eight times without permission. The missing money came to a grand total of $424.31.

In exchange for the dismissal of charges, Turnbull entered a guilty plea for the felony charge of grand theft at the Feb. 14 hearing.

He is scheduled to appear in court for sentencing on April 11.
