Report of Credit Card Fraud Leads to Habitual Offender Charge

Alleged misuse of a corporate credit card lead to a Hillsborough man's arrest not only on fraud charges, but on a felony charge of driving as a habitual offender.

Ryan S. Schunemann, 23, of 24 Hoty Lane, Hillsborough, was arrested on Wednesday on charges of habitual offender and five counts of fraudulent use of a credit card.

Schunemann was arrested on a warrant stemming from an investigation that began in March when Schuneman's company reported that he'd used a company credit card to fuel a vehicle not owned by his employer. The company said this happened on five separated occasions. While investigating the complaint, police learned Schuneman was driving said vehicle as a habitual offender.

With the assistance of the Hillsborough Police Department, Schuneman was taken into custody on April 17.

He was released on $2,500 personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to appear before the 9th Circuit District Court in Merrimack on May 2, to answer to the charges.
