2. ““I was driving my car (a 1975 Plymouth Valiant). No one was with me. I decided to stop at a dirt road and snort my cocaine. I bought the cocaine in Mobile and brought it to Spanish Fort. “I got out of the car to urinate and found a bunch of credit cards on the ground. I picked them up and left[,] going to Mobile. I kept a few of them but some of them I threw away. I went to Springdale and Bel-Air Malls and used the cards. I had my younger brother with me. I was wearing a Dallas Star’s Hockey Jersey. Later I went to Gayfers. I knew security was looking for me so I kind of hid from them. “My friend and I came back this morning looking for more credit cards. We parked on the same dirt road, then the police came and took us to the police department.””
