Cobb Fugitive Busted In Florida after Using CVS Card: ICYMI

SOUTH COBB, GA -- Police detectives in Florida recently arrested a man wanted in Cobb County after they were tipped off when the fugitive used his CVS rewards card, Patch has learned.

Last week, Cobb law enforcement officials reached out to Key West police to notify them that 37-year-old Jamaal Seymour, wanted for serious crimes such as aggravated assault and felony strangulation, may be in the vicinity based on sheriff's officials' abilities to track his shopping habits, specifically a rewards card he used.

Apparently the deals at CVS were just too good to pass up.

"Intelligence showed that Seymour had used a CVS rewards card at the Truman Avenue store around 6 p.m. on March 14th. Detectives began searching for Seymour," Key West police said on the department's Facebook page.

Around 10 p.m., detectives saw a man who who matched Seymour’s description.

"As they approached him, he struck up a conversation. They asked him his name and he identified himself as Lamont Major, but said he had no identification. As Detective Sealey took out his phone to compare the man with the photo he had in the BOLO, Seymour took off running," police said.

Key West detectives were able to catch him and take him into custody.
