Gas Card Abuse
When a defendant is using a stolen card at the gas pump, to whom does the defendant present the card?

did then and there withintent to fradulently obtain a benefit, present to ??????, or use a credit card, namely Chevron Card #_____, with knowledge that the card had not been issued to the said defendant, and with knowledge that said card was not used ith the effective consent of the cardholder, namely, Victim.

We've got 'Chevron Oil Co.' in the ?????? blank. What would you use?

The statute says "present" or "use". Delete the "present" language and just allege "use".

Looks to me like the defendant made a present to himself.

Yup. The defendant is the new boyfriend of the victim's ex-wife.
