Law enforcement in Missouri is looking for Samuel K. J. Glick, who is now wanted across a patchwork of counties on allegations of fraud and theft, according to probable-cause paperwork. Prosecutors and police say he faces charges in Boone, Franklin, Jefferson and St. Charles counties, and that an arrest warrant has also been issued in Warren County.
Charges Stack Up Across Four Prosecutors’ Offices
Regional prosecutors have filed a series of counts tied to what they describe as a multi-county scheme. The Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney charged Glick with four counts of fraudulent use of a credit or debit device. St. Charles County prosecutors charged him with stealing and fraudulent use of a credit or debit device. Boone County charged him with stealing a motor vehicle. Jefferson County charged him with stealing 750 dollars or more.
Probable-cause statements allege Glick used fraudulent checks to buy motorcycles, including one for about 14,000 dollars in a Walmart parking lot and another for roughly 6,750 dollars at a Break Time in Boone County. Investigators also say he used a stolen debit card at Franklin County businesses, producing a reported 470.52 dollar loss, and later admitted to using a found credit card that caused about 764.54 dollars in losses, as reported by FOX 2.
How Investigators Say The Alleged Scheme Worked
Investigators say the alleged activity blended smaller card charges, manually keyed transactions and larger purchases made with fraudulent checks to move money and goods across county lines. Police records also show Glick failed to appear for traffic-related court dates in St. Louis County, which authorities say helped trigger a closer look at his activity and the subsequent Warren County warrant.
Card And Identity Fraud Keep Climbing
Federal data show credit card identity theft is one of the top categories of identity fraud. The Federal Trade Commission’s Consumer Sentinel Network recorded about 449,000 credit card identity theft reports in 2024 and 6.5 million total consumer fraud and identity theft reports, underscoring why local agencies treat these cases as a serious drain on both residents and businesses, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
Retailers and loss-prevention experts say schemes that turn stolen cards into quick cash through gift cards, returns abuse or manually keyed transactions remain common, according to the National Retail Federation.
What Law Enforcement Wants The Public To Know
Warren County warrant paperwork remains active, and prosecutors say multiple agencies are still seeking Glick. Investigators say anyone with information on his whereabouts should contact the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office or their local police department. The case will be handled by the county prosecutors who filed the charges, and authorities say tips can be reported directly to local law enforcement, as reported by FOX 2.
