COLUMBIA, MO. - Mizzou gymnast Morgan Porter was arrested Tuesday by MUPD on suspicion of felony fraudulent use of a credit device.
Porter, 19 from Overland, Mo., and Ritenour High School, was the Southeastern Conference freshman of the year last season and qualified for the NCAA Championships in the all-around.
Porter has been suspended from the team per athletics department policy, team spokesperson Kate Lakin confirmed.
An MUPD officer was dispatched on a possible fraud case Sunday for an incident believed to have occurred June 8 at an off-campus location, according to a report provided by MUPD Major Brian Weimer. The officer identified Porter as the suspect. She was contacted at her residence at 9 p.m. Tuesday and arrested on suspicion of fraudulent use of a credit/debit device for more than $500. Porter was taken to Boone County Jail after processing and left on a $4,500 bond.
The report did not say what Porter is suspected of buying with the card or where she used it.
Fraudulent use of a credit device is a class A misdemeanor unless the value of the property or services obtained or sought within a 30-day period is $500 or more. In that case it’s a Class D felony.

aren’t all Mizzou athletes part of a union now? Is this person demanding a union lawyer?
Scanned the article excerpt and could not tell if the gymnast was a woman or a man. It’s a woman - just in case anyone is wondering.
If only sense came with athletic ability.
Pretty much not guilty. And that goes for her friends too.
It’s Mizzou. I am not surprised that an immoral school would attract immoral students.
Chunky little thing. Pretty
