Elizabeth Pickrell, 25, of Chandler, pleaded guilty in April to access device fraud and was sentenced yesterday to 24 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Leonard Davis. Pickrell was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $95,407.55.<\/p>\n<p>According to federal prosecutors, on August 18, 2010, a federal search warrant was executed at a co-defendant&#8217;s residence, during which law enforcement officers recovered counterfeit charge card making equipment, hundreds of counterfeit charge cards, and cash value cards.  Further investigation revealed that Pickrell conspired with Christopher Michael, his brother, Nathan Michael, and Corey Davis to commit access device fraud in Henderson and Smith counties. The four defendants obtained goods and services by using fraudulent credit card account numbers obtained through the internet and at Chicken Express in Tyler, Texas, where Pickrell was employed at the time of the fraud.  <\/p>\n<p>According to evidence, over 500 accounts were compromised in Tyler alone.  A federal grand jury returned an indictment on November 3, 2010, charging the four individuals with federal crimes. Christopher Michael pleaded guilty on May 10, 2011, to access device fraud and was sentenced to 48 months in federal prison on August 15, 2011.  Nathan Michael and Corey Davis have also pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER \u2013 A Henderson County woman has been sentenced to federal prison for a credit card scam.
