Cops Say Chikezie Used Hot Credit Card

Chikezie EzeChikezie Eze was arrested after trying to buy men's cologne on a stolen credit card ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We broke the story ... the former "American Idol" was busted at Neiman Marcus last night and booked on felony identity theft.

Chikezie told us earlier today he used a Neiman's credit card with his name on it to purchase two bottles of cologne, but we've now learned the store flagged the plastic as a "stolen credit card."

Chikezie is out on $50,000 bail ... the approximate price of two bottles of cologne at Neiman's.

UPDATE: A rep for Neiman Marcus tells TMZ, "We're cooperating with local authorities."

I want to know where he got the bail money? Honestly I live near him, and I have seen him playing local shows around town, with very LOW attendence. Maybe because MOST people wouldnt be caught dead in the areas forementioned, or would be dead if caught in said locations. Anywho Im just saying.........

There is absolutely no new information that would warrant an additional subject heading. TMZ must be getting desperate to pad their posts! SMH

Is this really as story - the guy stunk up Idol and apparently he was trying to cover his stink with some over priced cologne from Needless Mark-Up. You can buy a small bottle of Tim McGraw after-shave at Wal-Mart for about 6 dollars.
