|
WENGNews writes, "SARASOTA COUNTY SHERIFF’S DETECTIVES ARRESTED A DALLAS, TEXAS MAN THURSDAY IN CONNECTION WITH A COUNTERFEIT CHECK SCHEME TO DEFRAUD WHICH OCCURRED IN SARASOTA AND MANATEE COUNTIES IN FEBRUARY. DEPUTIES CHARGED 44 YEAR OLD RICHARD WRIGHT WITH TWO COUNTS OF UTTERING A CONTERFEIT NOTE, TWO COUNTS OF PETIT THEFT, AND TWO COUNTS OF FORGERY FOR THE SARASOTA COUNTY INCIDENTS, AND HE’S WANTED IN MANATEE COUNTY AND IN TEXAS, WHERE HE IS A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE. WRIGHT GAVE STATEMENTS TO DETECTIVES THAT HE HAS BEEN LIVING UNDER AN ASSUMED NAME SINCE 2005 TO AVOID DETECTION ON OUTSTANDING CHARGES IN TEXAS. WRIGHT IS ACCUSED OF GOING INTO LOCAL SANDWICH AND SUB SHOPS AND PLACING LARGE CATERING ORDERS, BETWEEN $1500 AND $2000 DOLLARS, REPRESENTING HIMSELF AS WORKING FOR AFLAC, SAYING THE ORDER WAS FOR THE COMPANY. HE THEN USED COUNTERFEIT BANK OF AMERICA’S CASHIER’S CHECKS TO PAY FOR THE ORDER, TAKING BACK THE CASH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COST OF THE ORDER AND THE CHECK. WRIGHT IS CURRENTLY BEING HELD IN THE LEE COUNTY JAIL PENDING EXTRADITION BACK TO TEXAS. "
