Man wanted in out-of-state ‘jackpotting’ case charged with being fugitive from out of state

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man who was arrested last week for alleged “jackpotting” thefts in Pennsylvania has been charged in Boone County with being a fugitive from out of state.

Police on Thursday announced the arrest of Antoni Garcia-Cordoba, 42. He is being held without bond at the Boone County Jail. Online jail records say Garcia-Cordoba is from North Carolina, while Casenet list his address as Columbia.

Garcia-Cordoba was staying at a short-term rental when he was arrested on Wednesday, according to a Thursday press release from the Columbia Police Department.

“Jackpotting” occurs when someone is able to get an ATM to dispense money outside of normal circumstances, according to various government websites.

A spokeswoman from Pennsylvania State Police told ABC 17 News that Garcia-Cordoba is wanted for stealing from four ATMs from the central Pennsylvania area, including two in Snyder County, one in Union County and another in Center County. He allegedly stole more than $43,000, according to the spokeswoman.

Garcia-Cordoba faces extradition back to Pennsylvania.
