HIRAM, Ga. (AP) -- Authorities in Paulding County say they've arrested a man they say created more than 1,000 fake credit cards.<br />
<br />
Paulding County Sheriff's Office Cpl. Ashley Henson tells WSB-TV ( http://bit.ly/1tqOust ) that 44-year-old Keith Michael Francis of Kennesaw manufactured 1,154 fake credit cards using what authorities believe is stolen personal information.<br />
<br />
It wasn't immediately clear Saturday whether Francis had an attorney.<br />
<br />
Henson says that in addition to finding the tools to make the cards, deputies found multiple driver's licenses from different states using different names.<br />
<br />
The man who owns an office space in Hiram that Francis was renting discovered the cards and equipment when rent for the space became overdue. The owner alerted authorities and deputies were waiting for Francis when he returned to the office to collect his things.<br />
