Anyone who has dined at the Sandstone Pizza & Grill in Hanna are urged to check their bank statements for unauthorized charges after it was discovered that an employee there had been taking pictures of credit and debit cards. According to the Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office, 32-year-old Andrew Shane Encoe was booked into Duchesne County Jail on Friday for investigation of multiple felony and misdemeanor charges including ten counts of unlawful possession of a financial transaction card. Deputies say “the photo gallery on Encoe’s cellphone contained images of other people’s credit and debit cards.” Encoe has a criminal history dating back to 2006 starting with theft related offenses and continues to the present with his most recent conviction in June 2017 when he pleaded guilty in 3rd District Court to unlawful possession of a financial transaction card. On September 27th, Encoe was charged by Salt Lake County prosecutors with yet more of the same type of charges. Formal charges have not yet been filed by Duchesne County prosecutors. Encoe is also under investigation for possession of heroin, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of burglary tools and theft.
