JERSEYVILLE - A Jerseyville man has been charged with nine felony counts of credit/debit card and theft-related offenses. Brandon K. Ervin, 36, of Jerseyville, was charged with the following:

Ervin stole $269 in cash and a debit card that did not belong to him, then defrauded Jersey State Bank by using that debit card to steal over $300 in additional cash on Dec. 30, 2022. Ervin had previously been convicted of retail theft in Jersey County on September 7, 2022.
