A New Orleans man pleaded guilty for having up to 50 counterfeit credit cards and using them to make illegal purchases.

Izell Mayes, 24, entered into a conditional guilty plea for one counts of possession of 15 or more counterfeit or unauthorized access devices.

According to evidence presented in court, Mayes was riding in a car that was stopped in a car that was stopped for speeding on Feb. 9, 2014 in Vinton.
