CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - A Florida man has been sentenced in West Virginia to three years in prison in a scheme to steal personal credit card information at gas pumps.

Prosecutors say 27-year-old Yarai Fuentes Quinones of Hialeah, Florida, pleaded guilty to a fraud charge Monday in federal court in Clarksburg.
