YAKIMA WA Feb 12 2011 — When a Yakima County sheriff’s car went to auction a while back, a sheriff’s department gas credit card was left inside.

Over the next seven months, someone used the card to pump $20,000 worth of gas.

On Monday, a Selah man has been arrested for investigation of the theft.

KAPP reports the theft was discovered Sunday by a suspicious gas station employee who checked the card with the sheriff’s office.

Selah is just a few miles northeast of Yakima.
