Police said Thompson used a handheld credit card skimmer to steal customer information.
The skimmer was used for transactions inside the store, and none were found on gas pumps.
Over 650 skimmed credit cards dating back to July 4, 2024 were found by detectives, WBNS reported.
On Feb. 26, Thompson was released from jail on his own recognizance. As part of his bond, he was ordered to stay away from the Speedway.
Anyone whose bank card was compromised or who recently visited the gas station is asked to contact Detective Kubinski at 614-237-6333 ext. 1247.
