Nevada river guide “Survivor” is wanted by police
Friday, July 21, 2000 | 10:15 a.m.
Former Greensboro resident Kelly Wiglesworth, 23, is wanted by the local police department on a five-year-old warrant for using a stolen credit card.
Police said Wiglesworth and Steven Patrick Winther, 26, went on a spending spree with a credit card belonging to Norma Jane Foster.
"She was involved in stealing a credit card and using it," said Sgt. K.D. Meredith of the Greensboro Police Department.
The crime carries a maximum sentence of 15 months in jail, but Meredith said first offenders usually are sentenced to probation.
Wiglesworth, who guides river-rafting trips in Nevada, is among the remaining contestants on the wildly popular CBS program "Survivor."
Police said Wiglesworth and Winther bought a meal at a local Olive Garden restaurant. A waitress there was arrested after she received a $30 tip for a $37.90 bill, according to court records.
Andrea Martin accepted Foster's Visa card even though she knew it didn't belong to either of the customers she served, the records said.
The case against Martin was dismissed in 1996 after she performed 75 hours of community service.
In 1997, Wiglesworth's name came up on a national crime computer when she was stopped by police in Las Vegas. Greensboro police were asked if they wanted to extradite Wiglesworth, but local police decided the crime she's accused of wasn't severe enough to go to the expense of bringing her back, Meredith said.
"If she comes into North Carolina and we find her, we'd arrest her," Meredith said.
Wiglesworth could not be reached for comment through her family Thursday.
