Report: Chief Justice Roberts Victim Of Credit Card Fraud

Last edited Thu Mar 28, 2013, 10:26 PM - Edit history (1)

Chief Justice John Roberts told a Starbucks cashier near his Maryland home Tuesday morning that he was hit by credit card fraud, according to the Washington Post.

Roberts reportedly paid in cash after saying he had to cancel his card. It was the same day as oral arguments on a major same sex marriage case.

Apparently the Starbucks cashier wasn't the only one Roberts told, according to the Huffington Post's Sam Stein.

We can confirm that John Roberts is the victim of credit card fraud. A Huffpost employee overheard him say this at a barber shop yesterday

The Associated Press confirmed the incident via a Supreme Court spokeswoman, adding it marked the latest reported crime against a justice since May, when someone broke into the home of Justice Stephen Breyer, though no one was in at the time.
