CAMDEN CO., GA (WTOC) -

Many drive cautiously at night, trying to avoid deer. But that drew attention to Ricardo Petithomme and Jamaal Green. They were driving on I-95 with their high beam headlights on just before 1 a.m. Wednesday when a Camden County Deputy stopped them and asked about the lights.

Something did not sound right so the officer dug a little deeper and found marijuana in Green's wallet. Then he found fake credit cards and fake IDs. An iPad, a $2,200 Mac computer, a $7,000 Rolex watch, a $3,198 leather jacket, and other electronics and clothing were also found. The items totaled approximately $15,000.

Officers say the two went on a shopping spree in Jacksonville with the fake credit cards.

They are both in jail Feb. 8 on several charges.
