A former Marine recruiter in Broward County is facing a staggering 155 felony charges after investigators accused him of breaking into recruiting offices and using a government-issued credit card for personal purchases.
Travonn Lee Moore, 36, was arrested Sunday in Hallandale Beach and remained jailed Tuesday on a $1.29 million bond, according to WPLG Local 10. A Broward County judge found probable cause on all of the charges during a Tuesday hearing.
Charges Span Burglaries, Card Use And Theft
Investigators say Moore faces 51 burglary counts, 52 counts of fraudulent use of a credit card and 52 counts of grand theft. Authorities allege he entered Marine Corps recruiting offices after hours and used a government-issued card for unauthorized personal purchases, including transactions at gas stations.
Authorities also said Moore had previously served as a U.S. Marine Corps recruiter before being discharged for illegal drug use. During his arrest, investigators said, Moore denied any involvement in the burglaries or credit card fraud.
Bond Reaches $1.29 Million After Court Hearing
The bond breakdown reflects the scale of the case: $510,000 was tied to the burglary charges, $520,000 to the fraudulent-use counts and $260,000 to the grand theft charges, Local 10 reported. Police previously obtained body-camera footage showing Hallandale Beach officers entering a restaurant to arrest Moore on the warrants.
The charges are allegations, and the probable-cause finding is not a conviction. Moore’s case will continue through the Broward County court system, where prosecutors must prove the accusations beyond a reasonable doubt.
