What began as a meeting to sell a vehicle turned deadly Monday night. The situation unfolded in Clearwater.
According to Clearwater Po- lice, Ms. Louise Ornduff, 36, and her son, Kalaeb Ornduff, went to the Bank Of America parking lot, corner of Belcher and Belleair Roads, around 8 p.m. The mother and son were to meet someone about possibly selling a Nissan Rogue.
Police said they were met by Lasupta Singletary, 18, of Zephyrhills, and 17-year-old Jarnalen Dreshaw Cole- man, of Dade City. Both teenagers were allegedly armed and demanded the keys to the Hyundai Veloster that Kalaeb Ornduff was driving.
The Ornduffs gave the suspects the keys and as they

Tuesday, a U. S. District Judge sentenced a 22-year-old Tampa man to 5 years and 1 month in federal prison. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit credit card fraud and aggravated identity theft on July 10, 2017.
Maurice Lewis is the 5th of 6 defendants charged as members or affiliates of the “Manche Boy Mafia,” or “MBM.” His co-defendant, De- meko Wells, is slated to be sentenced October 31, 2017. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy and aggravated identity theft.
According to court docu-
ments and statements made in court, from at least January 2015, through November 2016, Lewis and other individuals affiliated in some way with the “Manche Boy Mafia” or “MBM” organization conspired to com- mit credit card fraud and iden- tity theft in the Tampa Bay area.
Investigators learned the individuals had purchased stolen credit and debit card ac- count numbers, and stolen re- loadable gift cards online.
They used a machine to em- boss the stolen account num- bers and their own names onto
the front of these altered gift cards.
Once the cards were al- tered, the men used these counterfeit cards to buy other gift cards or merchandise.
Investigators determined that these individuals had en- gaged in hundreds of success- ful transactions with counterfeit credit cards, and had possessed and used thou- sands of stolen account num- bers from individuals across the United States.
In total, Maurice Lewis was held responsible for more than $350,000 in intended or attempted purchases with counterfeit credit cards and stolen account information.
Other members or affiliates of “MBM” who have been sen- tenced are: Brandon Lewis, 5 years, 1 month; Terrance Cobb, 5 years, 1 month; Don- tae Williams, 5 years, 10 months; and Davon Smith, 5 years, 5 months. All of them were charged with engaging in a conspiracy to commit credit card fraud, credit card fraud, and identity theft.
