Man Accused of Using Credit Card of Star NFL Quarterback
How dumb do you have to be to accept a credit card for Brett Favre? Now really, how many people are more recognizable than Brett? I'm just surprised that they could get away with it 40 times.iWon - Sports News

PHOENIX (AP) - A Phoenix man was arrested Thursday after allegedly using a credit card account belonging to Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre more than 40 times, authorities said.
The Arizona Attorney General's Office said William J. Joachim, 35, was arrested on four felony charges of theft, fraud schemes, aggravated taking the identity of another and misconduct involving weapons.
Two other men were arrested in the case and booked into the Maricopa County jail on forgery charges.
Arizona authorities received information from the NFL last month that Favre's credit card account had been compromised and more than 40 unauthorized transactions were made in Maricopa County.
The charges totaled more than $10,000, according to authorities.
