By Alexandria Randolph

A Granite Shoals woman was arrested on 33 counts of credit card abuse after allegedly stealing an employer’s credit card to make a multitude of purchases.

Amanda Ann Hiesler, 39, was arrested at her home on Monday, Aug. 18, and booked into Burnet County Jail at 6:15 p.m.

She is accused of using the stolen credit card to make purchases between the last week of July and Aug. 10, according to Granite Shoals Capt. Gary Boshears.

 “Over a period of three weeks she used (the card) a total of 33 times here in town,” he said, and added that the items bought were of miscellaneous nature.

“The highest (purchase) was $30,” Boshears said. 

Hiesler had been frequently employed by the people she took from – an elderly couple in Sunrise Beach, Boshears said.
