33-year-old Orlando Farquharson transferred money from his girlfriend, Christina Barclay’s bank account on August 15th. Barclay told responding officers that while she was asleep, Farquharson took her phone and left the house. Barclay further explained that he transferred $40 from her account to a Cash app he could use while he was gone. Barclay added that Farquharson did not have access to her bank account and that she did not know how he obtained her password.
Officers then interviewed Farquharson, who admitted to taking Barclay’s phone and money without her permission. Farquharson stated he could not withdraw the money because the card was locked. Farquharson added that he intended to take the cash but did not think Barclay would mind. Farquharson also noted that he had not done this before in their two-year relationship. Farquharson was taken into custody for a computer fraud violation.
Orlando Farquharson was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 15th, charged with computer fraud. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $1,000.
