A Fond du Lac man accused of using fake credit cards to purchase items at Fond du lac convenience stores is going to prison. Fond du Lac judge Richard Nuss sentenced R.L. Tate to three years in prison followed by three years of extended supervision. According to a criminal complaint during a search of Tate’s Martin Avenue residence investigators found several credit cards embossed with Tate’s name, his girlfriend’s name and un-embossed credit cards along with a notebook with credit card numbers and expiration dates. Invetigators say Tate used the fraudulent credit cards to make purchases at Kwik Trip and Tobacco Outlet in Fond du lac. He faces similar charges in Brown, Ozaukee and Waukesha counties.
