BUFFALO — A 50-year-old Buffalo man will serve 3 1/2 to 7 years in prison following a conviction for using and forging signatures for credit cards stolen in three separate incidents.

In September, Keith Winston of Porter Avenue pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree forgery.

According to the Erie County District Attorney’s Office, on Feb. 23, Winston entered Nichols School and walked off with two credit cards belonging to an employee and one credit card belonging to the school.

Winston was later caught on surveillance video swiping the credit cards at Auto Zone on Bailey Avenue and several other locations and signing the receipt for the items purchased.

Winston admitted to forging a signature while using a debit card taken from an employee at the Early Childhood Center in Buffalo and using it at two locations, including a NOCO Express and Family Dollar on April 6, 2016.

Winston also admitted to forging a signature while using a credit card which was taken from a parishioner at the North Park Lutheran Church in Buffalo on March 27, 2016.
