Demi Moore was the subject of credit card theft after a man took her card on a shopping spree, spending as much as $169,000, according to federal prosecutors.

Court documents obtained by PEOPLE reveal that 35-year-old David Matthew Read stole Moore’s replacement credit card after he reported the original missing. Read admitted to special agent Alfredo Rossi that he picked up the replacement card at a FedEx store, where he was caught on surveillance cameras. TMZ was first to report the news.

After obtaining the new American Express card, Read then used it for several weeks at retail stores in Los Angeles like Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue.

According to the court documents, Read spent approximately $169,249.80 during the spree and was arrested in April.
