A Chattooga County, Georgia woman stands accused of pumping gas, and then driving off without paying – several times.  The thefts all took place at Murphy USA in Trion. 

According to the Sheriff’s Office report – Murphy USA says that the store’s pumps are highly sophisticated, and can automatically send gas drive-off reports when a person fails to pay for their purchase.  The report has the pump number, time of day, and the amount of gas that was taken.   The management at Murphy USA was able to review the information, and identified a suspect who was habitually driving off without paying for gas.

Torria Alexis Ludy, age 22, is accused of driving off multiple times after pumping gas – in all, she is accused of stealing $243.87 in gas over April and May (2022)  Ludy was arrested and booked into the Chattooga County Jail last week.
