A strange charge to your credit card is a red flag not to be ignored.  Ottawa Police arrested a man from Streator after someone complained about unauthorized charges on their credit card account.

Damon Cook was arrested Friday for unlawful use of an account number and unlawful use of a credit card.  Police say he used someone’s account to pay power and gas bills and to try to buy something at the Streator Walmart.

Cook was being held in the La Salle County Jail with his bond set at $25,000.
