If you're gonna bail out a pal from jail don't use a stolen credit card to do so.

A Florida woman learned that the hard way;

AUGUST 29--An ex-con is facing felony charges after she used a stolen credit card to bail out a woman locked up in a Florida jail, police charge.

According to court filings, Lakeisha Brisbane, 46, used the victim’s Visa card in three separate transactions--totaling $850--with a Clearwater bail bonds company.

Brisbane, seen at right, used the stolen credit card to bail out Shermaine Arnold, a 21-year-old female acquaintance being held in the Pinellas County lockup, cops allege.

Arnold, records show, was jailed in November for ditching out on a $62.21 Yellow Cab fare. But since she also had an outstanding warrant in connection with a felony battery case in Miami-Dade county, her bond was set at $7500.
