A North Fond du Lac man is accused of racking up thousands of dollars worth of unauthorized purchases on two stolen credit cards. Forty seven year old Kevin Emerich made his initial Fond du Lac court appearance this week on 52 counts of identity theft for financial gain as a repeat offender. North Fond du Lac police chief Darren Pautsch says Emerich is accused of making more than $8000 worth of purchases, mostly cigarettes, in 2012 at Fond du Lac Kwik Trip stores and PDQ in North Fond du Lac using his landlord’s U.S. Bank and Menard’s credit cards. Emerich is in prison on a previous conviction for battery. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 26th.
