Defendant was a college student in Pittsburgh and was involved in a relationship with a young lady. The relationship matured to the point where the Defendant was permitted to use this girlfriend's bank card for store purchases. In fact, the Defendant was even given the girlfriends pin code for cash withdrawals.
The relationship continued for some time until the two had an argument, the relationship soured and the two separated.
